Before I just mean that: - we (Free Software users and supporters) should use only fully libre systems, applications and formats (and I know we already do that) - in some circumstances we cannot avoid using proprietary OSs (eg at work) and then is important to use free software and formats as much as possible, knowing well that it is a just a compromise - when other people (eg friends) which are using proprietary systems ask us for help, we should install free software and use free formats also explaining them that this is a compromise because they dont have a fully free system and also explaining because they should have one... (the risk installing Free Software on a proprietary system is that people could think we are endorsing it in some way) in other words, I think the most important thing is to help people to rise their "political" awareness about the Free Software "philosophy" > Just some thoughts.
