+	<h3>Option A</h3>
+
+<p>We will include non-free firmware packages from the
+"non-free-firmware" section of the Debian archive on our official
+media (installer images and live images). The included firmware
+binaries will <b>normally</b> be enabled by default where the system
+determines that they are required, but where possible we will include
+ways for users to disable this at boot (boot menu option, kernel
+command line etc.).</p>
+
+<p>When the installer/live system is running we will provide information
+to the user about what firmware has been loaded (both free and
+non-free), and we will also store that information on the target
+system such that users will be able to find it later. The target
+system will <b>also</b> be configured to use the non-free-firmware
+component by default in the apt sources.list file. Our users should
+receive security updates and important fixes to firmware binaries just
+like any other installed software.</p>
+
+<p>We will publish these images as official Debian media, replacing the
+current media sets that do not include non-free firmware packages.</p>

+
+<p>While we will publish these images as official Debian media, they will
+<b>not</b> replace the current media sets that do not include non-free
+firmware packages, but offered alongside. Images that do include
+non-free firmware will be presented more prominently, so that
+newcomers will find them more easily; fully-free images will not be
+hidden away; they will be linked from the same project pages, but with
+less visual priority.</p>

+#<h3>Option C</h3>
+#
+#<p>The Debian project is permitted to make distribution media (installer images

+#<h3>Option D</h3>
+#
+#<p>We continue to stand by the spirit of the Debian Social Contract §1
+#which says:</p>
+#
+#<pre>
+#   Debian will remain 100% free
+#
+#   We provide the guidelines that we use to determine if a work is
+#   "free" in the document entitled "The Debian Free Software
+#   Guidelines". We promise that the Debian system and all its components
+#   will be free according to these guidelines. We will support people
+#   who create or use both free and non-free works on Debian. We will
+#   never make the system require the use of a non-free component.
+#</pre>
+#
+#<p>Therefore we will not include any non-free software in Debian, nor in the
+#main archive or installer/live/cloud or other official images, and will
+#not enable anything from non-free or contrib by default.</p>
+#
+#<p>We also continue to stand by the spirit of the Debian Social Contract §5
+#which says:</p>
+#
+#<pre>
+#   Works that do not meet our free software standards
+#
+#   We acknowledge that some of our users require the use of works that
+#   do not conform to the Debian Free Software Guidelines. We have
+#   created "contrib" and "non-free" areas in our archive for these
+#   works. The packages in these areas are not part of the Debian system,
+#   although they have been configured for use with Debian. We encourage
+#   CD manufacturers to read the licenses of the packages in these areas
+#   and determine if they can distribute the packages on their CDs. Thus,
+#   although non-free works are not a part of Debian, we support their
+#   use and provide infrastructure for non-free packages (such as our bug
+#   tracking system and mailing lists).
+#</pre>
+#
+#<p>Thereby reinforcing the interpretation that any installer or image with
+#non-free software on it is not part of the Debian system, but that we
+#support their use and welcome others to distribute such work.
