You're twisting words. So do I (from your bsdtalk interview):
- I didn't want to accept beeing forbidden to share.
We share. We even share recipes for installing non-free software,
but doing so is still a real PITA of the user doing so. According
to several postings here, it's much more easy to install precompiled
non-free software on gNewSenses than on OpenBSD (since OpenBSD just
doesn't provide non-free binaries).
We've also some people spending shitloads of work for getting things
like Java to run on OpenBSD (e.g. kurt@). You call this unethical.
What did you (or anyone else from the FSF) do to make Java "free"?
