Quoting Johannes Schauer Marin Rodrigues <[email protected]>:
The original proposal is very different though. We don't loose
anything by not
collaborating with Framework. Doing so, in my mind, would imply a
far stronger
endorsement than when we accept Google as a DebConf sponsor.
I do agree, that it's a different level of endorsement, but it's gradual.
It's easy to go in this or that direction from that point: Either not
wanting the name Debian asscociated with certain companies at all and
turn down sponsorships. Or going in the other direction and turn a blind
eye on whatever companies do outside our field, i.e. free software.
I'm fine with maintaining a pragmatic position in the centre, though.
PS: Certifying an MNT device is certainly far less controversial ;-)
