David,

I agree with Ben on this.  I am perfectly happy to see PitP included on the
CD, even if it is not "official" Debian.  I do stand by the Debian social
contract, especially since I don't believe in using proprietary software (my
personal preference, anyway). Since PitP 2.0 can be freely redistributed,
and since it can be included on the CD, that is for the best- at least for
now. My initial problems were due to my lack of experience with Debian and
the DFSG. Now that I have a little better understanding, I'm fine.
