This is certainly a difficult question. A complete ban would probably be bad for freedom, but there are some cases where a bad would be a good idea, such as in government offices and schools. Less certain, even if everyone is free to develop and distribute non-free software (even if it's unethical), maybe a ban on selling non-free software would be reasonable. -- Ciarán O'Riordan, +32 477 36 44 19, http://ciaran.compsoc.com/ Support free software, join FSFE's Fellowship: http://fsfe.org Recent blog entries: http://fsfe.org/fellows/ciaran/ciaran_s_free_software_notes/fsfe_s_antitrust_victory_with_samba http://fsfe.org/fellows/ciaran/ciaran_s_free_software_notes/openstreetmap_considers_new_licence http://fsfe.org/fellows/ciaran/ciaran_s_free_software_notes/why_european_software_patents_are_legally_invalid http://fsfe.org/fellows/ciaran/ciaran_s_free_software_notes/eu_states_to_discuss_internet_filtering _______________________________________________ Discussion mailing list [email protected] https://mail.fsfeurope.org/mailman/listinfo/discussion
