Okay; I'm not that familiar with Debian's lists or processes, but know
what you mean, that its just gossip.

My general point is that the Debian commity is today less committed to
Free Software than Fedora community, and seeing the official outcome
of that vote versus http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FreeSoftwareAnalysis
this appears reflected in the general developer community as well.
(This is in contrast to the historical situation of Debian vs Redhat,
which I've only recently become aware has changed.)
