題目: Re: [Dng] A devuan "constitution"
antisocial is an emotive word, I don't see anything wrong with non-free
and contrib

don't forget the "free" in "non-free" is "free" as in freedom not "free"
as in beer!

This exactly describes things like binary blob firmware, calling this
antisocial is no way to get a hardware vendor on-board...
