BTW - in this case, Richard is talking about the little snippet garbage that people use as large scale widgets for web bowsers. THOSE things, since you are running javascript anyway, can be freed build kits rather than using unfree ones owned by google. But they both suck because in both cases, the user has no control. And it doesn't sidestep the other aspect of this he discusses, which is software as a service, which is what ALL of this is and he wanted to ditch it in GPL3 https://news.slashdot.org/story/09/04/27/1356235/rms-says-software-as-a-service-is-non-free https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/who-does-that-server-really-serve.html Javascript is just a form of Software as a Service, instead of on a remote server, you LET THEM take over your computer. It is stupid. It is dangerous. It strips the user of all computer ownership. NO NO NO
