[$] Debian debates software for proprietary services

Distributions like Debian have a clear policy on the software they ship; asa general rule, only free software can be considered for inclusion. Howthat policy should be applied to software that interactswith proprietary systems is not entirely clear, though. A recentdiscussion on a package that interfaces with a proprietary network service seems unlikely to lead to anychanges in policy, but it does highlight a fault line within the Debiancommunity.
