That page is just a joke :-) He says "BSD systems refer to proprietary drivers as “blobs” and some have policies against including these. That is good, but unfortunately no BSD system has policies against proprietary binary-only firmware that might be loaded even by free drivers." and look at this page http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/ His emacs not only has no policies against proprietary platforms but **ACTUALLY CONTAINS CODE TO RUN THE SOFTWARE ON WINDOWS" thus encouraging people to use MS Windows when it comes to his software :-D Hippocrite! --Siju _______________________________________________ Indian Libre User Group Cochin Mailing List http://www.ilug-cochin.org/mailing-list/ http://mail.ilug-cochin.org/mailman/listinfo/mailinglist_ilug-cochin.org #[email protected]
