Do you think the free-software services are sufficiently brought to the attention of the APT user, when considering the ‘s3cmd’ package? Or does ‘s3cmd’ rather give the impression that Amazon's non-free service is needed? > However, it is easy to find other packages interacting with > proprietary services without a free implementation.

I am in agreement with Bas when he says: If other packages also violate our principles or policy, that means they should be fixed, not that this should be allowed. So, “it is not hard to find other packages in Debian [with this problem]” is not addressing the problem. -- \ “Yesterday I saw a subliminal advertising executive for just a | `\ second.” —Steven Wright | _o__) | Ben Finney
