I heard that argument before about the license is different. Still
distribution is the same. However, this is one of those debian centric
issues that will never be worked out because once debian goes down a
path the rest is history. Overall debian is a good distribution, but
to say the least debian developers are trying for free software
perfection. What does that mean? I would suspect an excellent lawyer
could make a good legal argument that debian violates their own
free principles. These arguments are starting to become circular.
I guess we need the world court to rule on the matter to determine the
legality of free software distribution. I suspect that is coming one
day.
Foot in mouth again ;-))
