first let me give you a warm hi from Italy. My name's Francesco and I've
installed gnewsense just yesterday. I'm not a good coder and I've only
some experience as debian maintainer years ago, but I'd like to help.
I've read in the website that doing a freeness sanity check for the
packages in the distribution could be useful. If this is true I'd be
available to start checking the source. A possibility is to check the
debian bug tracking system for bugs related to DFSG guidelines: it would
not give us guarantee that we discovered all the possible freeness
violations but it would be faster than scanning all the packages. I
could write a wiki page or even a simple text list with the packages
where an effective DFSG violation exists and notify the list about them
so that we can decide what to do.
