Yeah, after all, the social contract merely states:We will never make the system require the use of a non-free component. Now I realize what that means: "The system" does not require the non-free documentation, although one could argue that its users and developers probably will require it. Quite sophisticated.Perhaps grabbing documentation from non-free will be a minor inconvenience for many users. We shall see.
I think there's more to it than that. A lot of information crucial to Debian's development (such as the glibc documentation) will be moved to non-free, and I guess that almost every Debian developer will need to install one or the other non-free documentation package. Thus, the claim "Debian is 100% free, because we have removed the offending GFDL documentation" is dishonest, in my opinion. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
