Because that's a circular definition. Saying everything in Debian is software, is not. It's also the only reasonable way to define software. Or at least, the only reasonable way I (or anyone else who has voiced their opinion on this issue here) have come up with in 3 years, and it's not for a lack of trying. -- Joe Wreschnig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
