The issue at hand is not a matter of endorsement. At least, not in the usual sense of the word. I think that a banner ad for Builder endorses Builder. (That's fine.) It does not really endorse Indiegogo, but it does urge people to go to the Indiegogo site and donate. Unfortunately, that is exactly where the problem enters, because donating thru Indiegogo means users must run nonfree software on their own machines. This issue of nonfree software is different in nature from endorsement and can arise even in the absence of an endorsement. I agree that GNOME should study the question of endorsements and when to make them, but that's a different issue. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way! That's nonfree (freedom-denying) software.
