First: sorry about the last post, it arrived twice, I think. I pressed ESC 
to stop the transmit, but it seems to be sent anyway.
Second: There's a whole thread about the subject on the debian-site:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-0010/thrd2.html
It's around the middle of the page.

>The second part is about Debian. A quote:
>" The proposed change would:
>-change the Social Contract to explicitly state that Debian supports the
>rights of its users to use and develop non-free software.
>
>-order the removal of all non-free software from the Debian archives, and
>forbid the introduction of any such software in the future.
>
>-Directs various Debian functionaries to implement these changes."

>After this part they say there's another vote, with softer terms.
