I disagree; if Tom wants to maintain Foo but doesn't have Motif, there
is *NO* reason why he shouldn't maintain it. Do you seriously think
Harry should maintain Foo, simply because he has Motif? Even if he
were a less qualified person to maintain Foo?

I don't believe people who have purchased a commercial library should
be considered ``preferable'' to maintain free software over people who
have not purchased said commercial library. If you consider that
fanatical, that is of course your prerogative.
I don't think the needs of Debian users are served by favouring the
owners of commercial libraries as package maintainers over those of us
unwilling or unable to purchase commercial libraries.
