This is something I don't understand regarding that. Why is simply mentioning the name of a missing file considered to be a recommendation? A file name is a file name, and any executable can be given any file name. Yeah, I get it, people can Google file names and find proprietary files, but what if someone Googles some libre recommended program and for one reason or another the search returns a similar proprietary program instead? Where exactly is the line here? -- Julie Marchant https://onpon4.github.io
