But.. DenverD isn't done trolling here :-P

Requesting such an amendment to the guiding principles will be an
"interesting" and endless debate with no clear answer... open source
is in itself a political statement.... and ties into copyrights,
patents and so many other things.  personally I think such a demand is
doomed to failure.. not to say that a proposal should not be tendered,
but... it'll be a long drawn out endless and futile argument.
