Hi Scott and everybody, I think that unfortunately there is no clear definition in Debian - hence no consensus - of what is a "proprietary service". In the case of s3cmd the Amazon cloud runs proprietary software, however it is accessed by a public and stable API, that was actually re-implemented in part by some Free software projects. So unless prefer to move packages back and forth to the contrib area, we should perhaps focus on the API rather than on the remote implementation ? It would be a strong message to the World if Debian would manage to update its foundation documents to recognise the fact that we increasingly rely on remote services and that we need them to provide freedoms equivalent to what we guarantee with DFSG. The current discussion just scratches the surface... Have a nice day, -- Charles Plessy Tsurumi, Kanagawa, Japan
