If you read Planet GNOME and some of the mailing lists, you'll notice that many developers use the term "Open Source" and call the operating system "Linux", instead of GNU or GNU/Linux. Some of them were even excited when a popular non-free software was relicensed recently, allowing easier installation by the users, but still remaining non-free. If the core developers and project participants do not value and stand firm behind the ideals of the GNU Project and the Free Software Movement, you cannot expect that these ideals will touch the hearts of other people, particularly the "minority" groups in question. -- JID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
