Well, then _stand_ by your convictions. Remove software from the GNU project from Debian. Free software with unfree documentation is a sham. If you call the documentation unfree, then the software can't be used like free software, and you should remove it, too. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
