If defining rules for what someone considers "free" software is stupid, then i agree, debian
is stupid. I'm happy that people other then you dont think so.

I do not create panic here.
I only wanted people to be informed about consequences when mixing several licenses.
That is an issue that does not only affect debian. Not all "free" software is "free".
And yes, we already had license issues with debian and components of TYPO3 before (especially
with the icons taken from the "silk" icon set).

I do not know, if your opinion about licensing is the general opinion of the core team, but
if it so this way, we can all be looking forward to license trouble in the upcoming future.
