You have a right to your own opinion. You do *not* have a right to express it *on this list*. The purpose of this list is to provide guidance to maintainers and upstreams regarding *Debian's* definition of free software, as well as guidance regarding the *legality* of particular combinations of works. You using the list as a soapbox for your opinions about licenses that you think Debian *shouldn't* accept is an abuse of the list. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
