But if Debian simply stops distributing all of the free software it does distribute now and starts distributing windows, that's ok. It has never been 'free' after all. Or, to be more realistic, if any of our developers would release a non-free kernel that is distributable, we would be able to distribute it, as it has never been free too. That's what I would like to avoid. What we must say is that we promise to do only distribute free software. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Gustavo Noronha <http://people.debian.org/~kov> Debian: <http://www.debian.org> * <http://www.debian-br.org> "NÃo deixe para amanhÃ, o WML que vocà pode traduzir hoje!" http://debian-br.alioth.debian.org/?id=WebWML -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
