Well, debian is pretty obvious about its purpose. It's a link right

Funny, the #1 point for most people is apt, not the social contract.
#1 for *you* maybe.

Include my name in the list of "people for whom socila contract is the #1
point". I use debian because of its commitment to free software (which is part
of social contract) not because it has apt or some other cool software.

Include my name in the list of "people for whom social contract is the
#1 point" also. When Debian ceases to be Free, then Debian ceases to
retain my loyalty.
