Michael, I know you are interested in making this happen, so i would know from you what time-ressources you are going to put into it, and if this time you spent could not have been better spent working on free software in debian, and in particular in trying to bring free alternatives of packages in non-free to the point where they might obsolet the non-free packages, and we could thus empty the non-free archive on the debian infrastructure in a more constructive way ? Also, i would like to know if you (or any other we you are refering to here) are in any way related to an exterior to debian organisation or company or whatever, which may have a vested interest in using or in any way being associated with this external non-free.org project.
