Or did BillG put all those > non-free dirs there? These are differences between Debian the project and Debian the distribution. non-free is not a part of the distribtion and never has been. The Debian project has always had people who are willing to package up a few non-free bits of software. The FSF did not have a problem with that at all if those were put on a different server (ie not visible on ftp.debian.org but on non-free.debian.org for example). > Perhaps, but it is their goal.

This has also nothing to do with lock-in at all. At any rate, this discussion is now officially off-topic for lkml so lets stop it.
