I think it is a bad idea. We fight non-free software, we consider it unjust and wrong, we don't want it to exist. I am confident that it will be declared illegal at some point in the future, in the same manner as slavery is illegal. As it was already pointed out, recommending companies that are involved in proprietary software development and distribution totally defeats our ideals and principles. -- In the GNU Project, discrimination against proprietary software is not just a policy -- it's the principle and the purpose. Proprietary software is fundamentally unjust and wrong, so when we have the opportunity to place it at a disadvantage, that is a good thing. --RMS _______________________________________________ Discussion mailing list [email protected] https://mail.fsfeurope.org/mailman/listinfo/discussion
