I have to break in, again. =20 The Debian Project has few goals as a Project. Most of the goals in Debian are the goals of the individual developers. A volunteer will do something because they want to see it done. The Debian Project does not have a goal to convert everybody to GPL or something. There are individual developers who'd like to see all Free Software licensed under GPL but their opinion does not necessarily reflect the opinion of all developers or the Project as a whole. --=20 Please cc all mailing list replies to me, also. * http://benham.net/index.html <>< * * Debian: Software in the Public Interest: * * Project Secretary Treasurer * * Webmaster Team * * BTS Team siteROCK: * * Lintian Team Linux Infrastructure Engineer * --VS++wcV0S1rZb1Fb Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE5UNNqbbwt//gBAIoRASwwAJ9+obd2d4tLaQSA3DGlB/S0XwwpKgCgtjHG un7BqRJymXhNvwTLEWxFYTk= =4Tyc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --VS++wcV0S1rZb1Fb--
