yes i apologize for my poor choice of words there - that issue i raised has nothing to do with commercial associations - in fact, the FSDG fully allows for the distro itself to be a commercially operated entity - that is, as i understand, essentially what ututo is - but, as far as i know, the ututo parent company does not provide non-free software to it's users, nether directly nor indirectly - please do correct me if i am wrong about that
i attempted to back-paddle that about five minutes later - i do not to intend cast any judgments myself - i like to think that i am just shining a light in any grey areas that i stumble onto - let the community decide how to interpret what is to be seen there one could probably imagine RMS barking: "users looking for the free source code for their system should not be directed to a server where non-free software can be found for that same system" - of course, the opinion depends on who you ask - some people are real sticklers about that sort of thing On 03/28/2018 01:30 AM, Jean Louis wrote: > It appears to me that people working > on that distribution are paid, and they may > dedicate their time and efforts in making > distribution free. you make a good point there - in theory that could be a very healthy thing for the distro
