Be VERY careful!". The FSF's policy is not to use any non-free software at all. Using non-free software isn't an alternative. So the statement "use it only if you haven't got any alternatives" is not an option. Instead it should be "Don't use it", period. If there is no alternative to the non-free software one should reject it nevertheless. If that means that e. g. the hardware can't be used properly then one should change the hardware. _______________________________________________ Fsf-collab-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/fsf-collab-discuss
