For that reason, the non-free Debian logo is not included in the Debian distribution (and two wrong do not make a right).

That has long been considered a bug and I'm seeing movement to correct it wothin the project recently.

At Anthony Towns's request, I've picked up this issue and am working on
it. I've already sent him a long draft with an extensive background and
rationale for the change (much of this information will be familiar to
those who have had a skeptical eye on Debian's licenses on its logos for
years -- but not everyone has troubled themselves to care).

I was hoping to get something done this past weekend, but I suffered a
hard drive failure that has affected my $HOME so I've been trying to piece
that back together.

(I had backups, but they, um, were a little over 2 years old.)

I am learning my painful lesson and have a pair of new drives I'll be
configuring into RAID 1.

At any rate, expect some motion on this soon.
