Debian's a free software project. It's unsurprising that we discriminate against non-free software. > Do you think that hidding important pieces of software does serve our > users? (with or without the bug license teaching messages) No, I don't think it serves our users. However, I don't think it's a great disservice to our users, and I think it does serve free software. > (*) some people claim that contrib and non-free are not part of Debian > but they use their own definition (Debian==main archive) which I do not > talk about.

But yes, I know what you mean - most users do view Debian as being main, non-free and contrib. -- Matthew Garrett | [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
