Bad mojo... (Score 1)

I think that Wichert is not
talking about anything like swearing an oath on
some document. The interview is just to see
if the developer-to-be understands what Debian is,
and that it is 100% free software. The developer
can still upload non-free packages to the non-free
section (if their licenses allow this). Understandably, the developer must agree that everything in the main part of the distribution consists of free software and that binary only software and shareware and warez and whatnot cannot be included in a free distribution. The interview is meant to
try to avoid possible misunderstandings.
