I think you mean the discussion started by: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2005/01/msg00375.html After reading it's still not clear to me why ndiswrapper isn't affected by Policy 2.2.2. First, I couldn't find any reference to a "GPLed NDIS driver" in ndiswrapper's website, like Michael Poole asserts: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2005/01/msg00381.html I would tend to agree that if there's at least one non-POC free driver, without any free, native equivalent, then ndiswrapper is not targetted exclussively at using non-free software. However, it seems Goswin has a point, which he didn't explain. He sent a message saying that in IRC they reached a different conclussion, and nobody replied to him: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2005/01/msg00963.html I'm adding CC to Michael, Goswin and debian-devel. -- Robert Millan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
