I > hope you find it enlightening. All I read is where the money goes that get donated "officially" to debian. Let me ask about the cost of servers/repositories for all the non-free packages. Whose decision goes there? Do you folk mean to tell me that at this point Debian does not have the power to influence industry by selecting to support only hardware with open/free firmware? Isn't it superficial to say we are "for" free but we run hundreds of servers supplying "users" with non-free stuff? What, the customer is a priority? 80% of users would have no support running around with a portable device and some wifi that incorporates chips from a tiny oligopoly? Are we talking about meritocracy or marketing? It is a very different approach you know. I suspect such decision making has a value! We don't live in a free world. How many did you say? 483 developers, from how many contributors? Ohh.... I am enlightened alright! Show me the money honey, and save me the "constitution" preaching. -- "The most violent element in society is ignorance" rEG "Who died and made you the superuser?" Brooklinux
