I would like to try BOINC, but not so much that I want to make an
exception for nonfree software.
My preferred OS (Parabola GNU/Linux) blacklists BOINC because it is
not completely free software.
The specific details for why are documented here
http://libreplanet.org/wiki/Software_blacklist#boinc_.2F_boinc-app-seti

I would like to ask the developers this: are you committed to not
using freeglut or another free glut replacement?
If not, could I ask that you attempt to make the switch, so we can
reevaluate BOINC for freedom and eventually get it off the blacklist.
I don't see any reason why a project like BOINC needs to be nonfree :)

Cheers,
Ramana
