Author of Auben Developer or Debian?
The term "author upstream" means the author or the developer (principal) of the work,
He writes and develops. On the other hand, developer Debian,

More appropriate).
In practice, so that the distinction between them is often clear. Debian's supervisor may write a patch, then use it
All users work. In general, Debian is responsible for the firmness of engagement
The development of the upstream work will also become shareholders, and if they remain restricted
Regular users of the program).

1. We will not hide problems
   Debian is not perfect, and will show us new problems to fix it every day. We will leave the database bug reports
   All are open for public display at all times. Others will see reports sent by people immediately.
2. Our priorities are our users and free software
   Determining this commitment is difficult. As a result, Debian imposes bias when the need to make a decision arises
   Rejects easy solutions for developers if they hurt the user experience, in favor of more elegant solutions

   Even if their implementation is difficult. This means not taking into account user concerns and free software
   As a priority.
3. Work that complies with our free software standards
   Debian accepts and understands that some users may want to use some non-free software. So allows

Critics argue that this section distanced people from free alternatives, and contradicts the principle of case service

Commercially). By distributing this work in the non-free section, we indirectly explain the author
His work would have been more popular and used more broadly if placed in the main section. Ai
We therefore call upon them to modify their licenses to serve this purpose.
After a futile first attempt to remove the section in 2004, the idea of ​​removing it in full is expected to come back
The schedule of work, especially since it contained many useful documents, simply conveyed to it that it did not agree

The non-survival of the non-free section bothers the Free Software Foundation a lot, which is the main reason why
It officially rejects Debian's recommendation as a free operating system.

Free. The non-free section is not officially part of Debian; it is an additional service provided by the project to its users.
In addition to the fact that this text sets the selection criteria in the Debian project, it has become an issue in the free software case,

1. Freedom of redistribution.
   The license of a component of Debian A may be prevented by the sale of the Software or distributed free of charge within a distribution
   A collection of programs from a variety of different sources. The license may also be imposed by Atta Ao Ai
   Software
   Other fees on these sales.
   The basics of cheap
   The GNU GPL license, the BSD license, and the Artistic license are all in compliance with the Debian principles
   For free software (Guidelines Software Free Debian), although they differ from each other
   Much.
   GNU GPL license, used and supported by FSF) Free Software Foundation, Free
   Foundation Foundation, is the most recent. Its fundamental advantage is that it also applies to all
   Work derived from redistributed work: A program that incorporates or is used can not be distributed
   GPL license code is in accordance with the terms of the license itself. It prevents any form
   Re-use in monopolistic programs. This poses serious problems when reusing code
   GPL in free software is not compatible with this license. Therefore, it is sometimes impossible to link a published program
   According to another free license with a library distributed by the GPL. On the other hand, this license is strong
   Very much in American law: the FSF lawyers themselves took part in drafting it, and they forced the violators
   Many times access to friendly agreements with the FSF before bringing the case to the courts.

   The BSD license is the least restrictive license: everything is allowed, including the use of code
   BSD rate in monopolized applications. But Microsoft used it, where it adopted a layer
   IP / TCP for the BSD kernel as a basis for that layer in Windows NT.

   Finally, an artistic license takes a middle position between the two previous licenses: where it allows embedding
   Code in monopolized applications, but all modifications should be published.

2. Source code.
   The program must include its source code and must be distributed in addition to the distribution of executables.
3. Derivative employment.
   The license shall permit the modification and construction of derivative works, and shall permit the redistribution of such amendments
   Under the terms of the program license, do not say the same.
4. The integrity of the author's source code.
   The distribution of the source code is moderated only if it allows the distribution of "files"

The license is valid
Patching "with the source code to modify the program and build it. The license must explicitly permit distribution

1. Do not exclude any Aavrad or groups.
   The license should distinguish any individual or group in the transaction.
2. Do not exclude any applied field.
   The license should not prevent anyone from using the software in a particular area of ​​applications. For example, to
   The use of the software in commercial companies can be prevented or used in genetic research.
3. Distribution of license.
   The program is distributed without the need to
   Program rights must apply to all parties

   The license must be for a license.
   Program rights must be based on the fact that the program is part of a system
