Why should I punish myself just for to says "Hey, I'm using only free software"? This benefits nobody! [1] Please don't get me wrong: free software is to be preferred and we should push users and vendors towards it. But if for any reason one owns a device demanding non-free firmware, using e.g. a dongle would not benefit anybody.[1] The vendor already has the money. In contrary: buying a dongle adds to environmental pollution and sweating in poor countries. The only thing we achieve is distracting users from free software since it "doe not work". [1] Given that you basically "trust" the non-free software. Bu if you don't, you'll not going to use it anyway. -- Regards Hartmut Goebel | Hartmut Goebel | [email protected] | | www.crazy-compilers.com | compilers which you thought are impossible |
