No, don't. I'm just telling that asking for a sponsor for non-free packages is not helping the project. Non-free software are not part of Debian which main goal is to release a 100% Free Software distribution. I wonder if such people really know that Debian is not only about technique but also philosophy. It is the role of sponsors to check that. > > It's clear that free software is better than non-free software but please > don't forget that you agreed that "We will support our users who develop > and run non-free software on Debian". I'd like to remind that Debian does not support non-free software but _tolerates_ them. -- Jérôme Marant
