Flame as you will, Debian zealotsFlame as you will, Debian zealotsPosted Jul 4, 2004 22:53 UTC (Sun) by jensend (guest, #1385)Parent article: Debian postpones social contract changes Wow, a Debian move in the direction of pragmatics rather than politics. It'll take some time (and a couple of actual releases) for Debian to shake off its image as being the domain only of the "GNU/Holier than thou". In one project I've been watching, one of the Debian fanatic devs argued against an API change (and won!) on the basis of the claim that the change would have made the software more portable to "non-Free" operating systems (an unspeakable evil!).

Flame as you will, Debian zealots Posted Jul 4, 2004 23:03 UTC (Sun) by Ross (subscriber, #4065) [Link] The only flame I see is yours.
Flame as you will, Debian zealots Posted Jul 5, 2004 4:32 UTC (Mon) by jensend (guest, #1385) [Link] It wasn't quite a flame, but it did cross the line into flamebait, hence the title (which I added after realizing that I didn't have the patience at the moment to put the point politely). As exemplified in the above discussion, Debian types will be having license arguments until the sun burns out.
