Garrett: There's more than one way to exploit the commons
Matthew Garrett's
take on the Debian-XScreenSaver disagreement is worth a read.
"Free software doesn't benefit from distributions antagonising their
upstreams, even if said upstream is a cranky nightclub owner. Debian's
users are Debian's highest priority, but those users are going to suffer if
developers decide that not using free licenses improves their quality of
life. Kneejerk reactions around specific instances aren't helpful, but now
is probably a good time to start thinking about what value Debian bring to
its upstream authors and how that can be increased."
