The article is signed by > Jesse Smith, whom I never met. indeed, you got me there. so now i took the time to read the article: should have done it in first place, it's a positive review of Trisquel and it even quotes dyne:bolic in it. my opinion about this specific comment by Jesse: Some FOSS-only distributions strike me as being more anti-proprietary than pro-free. The BLAG project's web site states the distro is working "to overthrow corporate control of information and technology". The dyne:bolic web site states their "software is one step in the struggle for redemption and freedom from proprietary, closed-source and resource intensive software." Frankly, I'm less interested in a revolution to over-throw something than I am in promoting open source and using FOSS wherever possible. the guy got a point there: i also dislike attitudes that omit a pars construens after a pars destruens. however dyne:bolic speaks about redemption, not about being "against" something: liberation from slavery is a *positive* instance, politically speaking. despite the black panter movement needed to organise some self defense, we never went burning white people on crosses hey. maybe there is a bias there that makes Jesse judge the message as anti-something, while i'd just call it assertive. ultimately i see that even BLAG has a very constructive attitude: after declaring the problems, it originated a whole operating system, very onerous effort indeed, even harder to carry 5 years ago than nowadays by just skinning an Ubuntu. very constructive, yet clear about its reasons. and all that stuff was hard to realize at a time the Ubuntu billionaire guy wasn't yet there to save us all sinners. ciao - -- jaromil, dyne.org developer, http://jaromil.dyne.org GPG: B2D9 9376 BFB2 60B7 601F 5B62 F6D3 FBD9 C2B6 8E39 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iQQcBAEBCAAGBQJMskS8AAoJEAslGzkIl3JRoKUf/1cnAnZJYYqyAHZmeZmINloO Hy0K/lhHQo6vPN0UpTeROEYm+yL0U2RLSkWl9FUejKChhi1nie4EBB/kFQiHey41 ZGz3LI2KjPJUGTUc9o8O5ijPpZC81yV89H92nM0ofGI7TuLKeyCKwMMVRZ5XC52N 4RlSEwgwBOIuiyqGxG1jdixKiOiN0yFg9/Y+1kOTPD91POEJa2Nw2iOCkq5nrg5m irt+ru3HGAb+0XSw2rovBNY+vDKE2ihD+wyvJTfWorCebr7cK4L1j74G+NqPf1bh R5g7fC5uuEA5jQpGbU9jt2yR0Dh9ocN9NulDh8RmiqP0IGZaxxO+oDIZP0c1Yjl0 6wg+WVaNgqo5+alpt5HBy9aQr+kpLU5QQWLn4VvBN/pgNvKcCzsRcw4wIvGucoRV f7mOPJXm/8R7ArjkQREAPHQHIDgDBhmCgkAbEe5alXRsUuBjpyWo5uoM37eV+Y8r yiIKBNeu8w/eTUlRxdT7LPsZyli34UFoa2SaqbjqghkmRwFrrxj+8m7vixxjJD6h 0WrznWEQgXWeHjVG3t69PiPPWTjzlMYKMXfiTFHO/VzlH/4qQ2by/FZ5P9RB4GR0 3bB4Q2M1JEwiuBHrhCPZY6VlL3z90OOwMV8HtYVXQhIfrwyZC1FpcVrYgvUGowQt ZmWIforu+OceuTY8+5m45w7YwE445477nkxeUqGMeHeY+J+C5ncPeL2Bg8o/aTWj mH2H/lAzZ7aV0gs6bSI8allcbderFr3FhPoI4oksAzNiDpvieC5DL2QBED4Bw6zd j9rYB76gtQMl9idwBg2xe53Ewwnkrow5EodVDbnMs4dwDCXDuiHQ2HA9/6lem035 MUKAasszUtsEZA1GRfU3x7e8GLB0+SisPZJVla3VfVCMWQL+0gVKZAwu0rSeYxBZ 5S1j6umwyM+gPuN6K1kIo0SyBo4fSk5qOjeWeHgDJQYtP44moauzLJgxQgPtRbpn vKypWjv4bR8Du/VxHVNqteFysy/of7hs7J+RCWU1EhlSqLDROn9VYqN8n6S5dC8u jOzKZJE2T1n+lIe/iGlY9sbQu3zQHBbdmriG0EFVL82MjTGcIAJ8KMKf0kF2PlHv tHk0Qb2T9OMUlsanVHswFiSvMAYzgJEu8tV1JuZSjBSck3bUa0DyfnCAdVNTNfZq 81O9Ldhw2OYlUqnRmtgfNqMKXALRf1O4EOmAFM2v19WudmH1crqbbADo6FQcuQq+ rfwPK29+Kkc0VZMNP42LeK2OK2pe8ddusoFraizMm8KpguKNJXADqROlJJXs7Rx+ lVMHqJPjqfnkT4AZSLBv4ZNf9rskAeTZdas+9GgHohSpP5ntAEHN7IDZyQPOXVI= =60l0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
