This includes: > - the many different licences that need permanent licence auditing We don't have such a strict policy about licenses as debian has, so this isn't such an important issue for us. We handle the important issues (e.g. the netpbm package doesn't get shipped on CDs because we aren't allowed to sell it), but we don't care that much about the differences in "free beer" vs. "free speech" as debian does. > - unwillingness to use manpages > - inconsistent interface Both points aren't nice, but we don't have the same quality policy for 3rd party programs as we have for the base system. We provide what we get, it's up to the user to install and use 3rd party programs or not. If the user thinks he can handle the netpbm suite: fine; if not: it's ok for us too.
