No, I havent't told you I would write that and you haven't seen the unfinished flyer yet. You are assuming that I will tell lies, which I will not. I will tell people which Blobs are used in each BSD and that this is wrong imho. I'm not in a position to lie about anything, neither to you nor any other person.

Sorry, this is personal without any evidence/argument.
I'll have to agree with Theo on this one. You're definetly spreading a lie with that flyer. Anyone who reads the flyer as it is will probably assume that the 4 BSDs are against blobs. When it's not really a fact. Maybe the greatest part of freebsd and netbsd community is against blobs, but that's not what the flyer is saying, it's saying that the projects are against blobs. That's what those symbols represent, isn't it? And that's obviously not true, since freebsd and netbsd ship with blobs. It's not like they have no choice, there are big projects that ship their products without blobs. You may write nice documents explaining what a blob is and which systems have and which do not. The problem is that the flyer is not telling us that, it's suggesting that those 4 BSDs are against blob, and therefore they don't have blobs. It may even trick people into installing freebsd or netbsd thinking they're installing blob-free software and therefore contributing to make the world free of blob.
