Correction: "specific" guidance. In other words, what specific parts
of Debian keep it off the list? If it's the existence of
non-free/contrib, then well this whole effort is a non-starter. If
not, then what specifically are the existing things that need to be
improved? This is about collaboration afterall, and we have yet to
see much from the FSF side: hence the silence.
Best wishes,
Mike
