Please, tell me your thoughts!Hi Leah, thank you for these deep explanations about things like software/non-software blobs or microcode updates; it helps a lot to understand the issues and your point of view.IIUC, you say we should stop thinking in a binary way -- completely free software compliant / completely non-{free software compliant} -- and rather as if there was a succession of steps towards total freedom, without restricting our travel to any given "hardware-depth threshold". I think I agree with you on this point, and I wonder what rms for example would think about that. However I'm not comfortable with this argument from https://osboot.org/news/policy.html#configuration :It’s natural that the user may want to create a setup that is less free than the default one in osboot. This is perfectly acceptable; freedom is superior, and should be encouraged, but the user’s freedom to choose should also be respected, and accomodated.Saying that, you go in the opposite way the FSDG does: it looks like you're ok with distributing non-free software, just in case if the user would like it better... I know we aren't talking about software, but this distinction is not clear for everyone (including me). Anyway, the word "accomodated" can be a source of debate. -- Félicien Pillot 2C7C ACC0 FBDB ADBA E7BC 50D9 043C D143 6C87 9372 [email protected] - [email protected] _______________________________________________ libreplanet-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.libreplanet.org/mailman/listinfo/libreplanet-discuss
