I must admit that I read about this with a sense of both disappointment and understanding. I do think that at times Debian worry excessively about what is really free to the detriment of their user base, which, as a previously post points out, should be evenly matched in the Debian social contract.

However, I do understand where they are coming from yet I think that alot of the recent policy modifications have not been thought though enough. Debian stable is so old that its almost becoming irrelvant (note the stable release _not_ Debian itself). I too think that they must pass another GR to get a new release out of the door this year.
