Rick,

A great email, thanks!! (I hope you don't mind me not quoting it.) I haven't 
published the changes to the Author Guide yet. Just let me know what it 
should say with respect to Debian and I'll update it! It's true that I was 
duped by the webmaster. I don't understand where to go for the "official" 
word from Debian. (And I too am a Debian user. Love it, love them, don't
love the stuff to do with licensing documentation it's just too murky for
the number of hours in a day...if you know what I mean.)

I do know from the people here that our docs have been 
split into free and non-free, so I want our authors to know about the 
rules for the division. Can you help me figure it out? Hopefully with a
URL to include in the Author Guide to point people to the real story? Even
if it's just the package maintainer that's made the split I'd still like
to know how the split works. 

It's important to me that our authors make an informed decision when they 
pick their license...

thanks,
emma
