It seems we agree on the definition of Debian then. Thanks, that's
what I wanted to clarify.

While you make many points I've made or agreed with in the past, I
don't think the discussion is appropriate for this list.


Bringing it back on topic, the definition of Debian and the
surrounding project (regardless what the project members do from time
to time) was raised to discuss how those definitions might be useful
for defining the GNU Business Network.

What do you think of the suggestion made to draw lines similar to
those drawn by the Debian project: "free", "free but currently depends
on non-free", "non-free".
