Defining Free Software Business

[Alfred M. Szmidt]

   non-free and contrib are not part of Debian.  Any packages in
   Debian which depend or recommend non-free are seriously buggy and
   will be fixed or removed.

Debian distributes non-free and contrib.  They are part of Debian.  If
Debian fixes programs that recommend or recommend non-free software
then Debian should take action to removing non-free and contrib.
Debian has not done so, so Debian still recommends and supports
non-free software.

   How about I don't BECAUSE THEN I WOULD PROBABLY DIE SOONER.  None
   of my drugs are mindbenders.  Are yours?  Seems like it!  I am
   really disappointed that anyone on this list was insane enough to
   write that. It is this "you disagree, so go harm yourself" style of
   argument that gives FSF fans a bad name.

Look, it is you who resorted to calling me a liar, a FSFphile, and
what not, if you can't handle a polite comment about taking drugs,
then you seriously do need to stop taking whatever drugs your doctor
subscribed to you.  Yelling, being childish, calling people names sure
don't help to make your point.
