what I was trying to say is that people who care about free software
should care of freedom in general

good! so why do not use them?

right but the css alone do nothing and when included in the html it
is as a piece of the html code...

so both css and c++ class have a *functional* role (not aesthetic)
displayng the external defined colour...

so how can you decide when the css code is just artwork or not?

css can do more than defining the visual layout...

can handle floating menus, can mamage printing, can manage what should
be displayed and what not usualli according with the media... it is
hard to me thinking css is just art...

but also if it is... why users should not be free to copy, modify and
redistribute images and css of a theme made to work in
functionally conjunction with a free browser???
