We can apply the same argument to any other communication software. E.g. IRC is useless without other humans, they aren't free software. > TokBox does not grant it's users the four freedoms.

Not true: loop-server operator wouldn't run a copy of TokBox's software. The free software on their computer would communicate with external services (which "aren't free or nonfree" and which cannot be replaced by local software: it's not SaaSS). > Personally, I am glad this has been removed from Iceweasel, it means > nobody loses their freedom. Except for all people who will use Skype or various other things with nonfree client-side code instead.
