No. Debian and the GNU Project have some disagreements. We want them to stop recommending nonfree software, which is a practice we consider unethical. They call some aspects of the GNU FDL nonfree, which we consider a mistaken judgment. We are negotiating with them about these issues. In the mean time, we will not make license changes to cater to Debian. Please don't change anything about the Org manual licensing. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way! That's nonfree (freedom-denying) software. Use Ekiga or an ordinary phone call
