Fact: many people are addicted to the internet. If GNOME did not provide a browser or even internet connectivity, GNOME could help them stop using the internet. So I've seen the "This Free and Open Source Project should educate its users about non-free services!" opinion across several FOSS projects I am/was involved in. "Make it harder for users to use non-free but convenient services" is a great way to decrease your userbase, but providing *better* services than the non-free ones and competing on the market might be more sustainable. I won't stop you from doing that. andre -- Andre Klapper | [email protected] http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper/ _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
