Many questions on this list originate from businesses using Debian 
internally.

Are you suggesting this shouldn't be allowed and/or that support should 
only be provided for businesses below a certain size?

(ignoring for a moment that this would be impossible to implement with 
open posting / subscribing / list archives)


Free(dom) Software was never meant to exclude comercial use or 
developers earning a living (or a fortune) from it.

In fact a non-commercial clause in the license would make a software 
non-free according to Debian's DFSG and other similar Free Software 
definitions.

As far as I can tell the Debian Project is actually quite proud of Pixar 
having used Debian internally, so much so that all the code names are 
still inspired by Toy Story characters.

Kind regards,
Andrei
