Zacchiroli: working with FSF on Debian Free-ness assessment

Debian Project Leader Stefano Zacchiroli has announced a new initiative to make Debian qualify for the Free Software Foundation's list of free distributions. "What I'm proposing is basically a soft approach in verifying if all remaining issues that cause friction among Debian and the FSF can be solved in the most typical Debian way. The approach might fail, e.g. due to disagreements on bug validity. But at that point we will have obtained a list of blockers, that could than be used as documentation for Debian users who wonder why Debian and FSF disagree on the Free-ness of Debian."
