Garrett: There's more than one way to exploit the commons

Matthew Garrett'stake on the Debian-XScreenSaver disagreement is worth a read."Free software doesn't benefit from distributions antagonising theirupstreams, even if said upstream is a cranky nightclub owner. Debian'susers are Debian's highest priority, but those users are going to suffer ifdevelopers decide that not using free licenses improves their quality oflife. Kneejerk reactions around specific instances aren't helpful, but nowis probably a good time to start thinking about what value Debian bring toits upstream authors and how that can be increased."
