I would be really interested in your response to the part of my post you silently skipped, namely : Sure, but please tell me, if we are going to move non-free stuff to non-free.org, exactly how will that change anything over the current situation in regard with packages with problematic licences ? Unless naturally you have no response to this question, and there really no benefit at all in having non-free on non-free.org over having it in the debian servers. Friendly, Sven Luther
