Yes, this is the right way to react to the problem. If we believe in free software, now the author finds a piece of non-free software, we should remove it at once. This could our image of "gNewSense as 100% Free distribution"
If we think the author is wrong, we should find some standing arguments, and fight back. However, I think the logical of the post is right, apio is non-free, gNewSense should remove it at once. -- Arthur Webkid On Fri, 2008-12-19 at 23:21 +0100, Graziano Sorbaioli wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Ted Smith wrote: > > That post seems more like anti-freedom ranting than something that was > > in a spirit of actual help.
