== Commitment to Correct Mistakes ==

The FSDG work-group, with the oversight of the FSF, shall maintain a list of
software with known FSDG issues, and their commonly accepted remedies. Distros
shall, at all times, heed the current recommendations on that list. In the case
of contention, the issue may be reintroduced into the work-group discussions,
for the purpose of re-assessment, and possibly a revision of the current
recommendation.

Distros should refrain from introducing software into their repositories, for
which there are known contentions regarding it's FSDG-fitness, until the issue
is raised and thoroughly discussed publicly among the work-group. Once the
facts and arguments are presented as clearly as possible, and people have had
adequate time in which to express their opinions, the FSF agent in charge of
FSDG over-sight may be consulted for an official recommendation.

Pending an official recommendation, the standing consensus of the work-group
should be taken as the general recommendation, with respect to that particular
software; and each endorsed distro should promptly apply that recommendation to
their software. Once an official recommendation is determined, it shall be
added to the list of common remedies for future reference.
