So if it is a new model of cell phone and if the owner teaches you how to use it and make life easy for you will that be 1) Wrong on his part to encourage you to using a device you don't use? 2) Wrong on your part to take his advice and help to use it? > In the same sense, I would > consider it wrong for me to have a machine with Windows on it, or to > use one regularly, but I see nothing wrong in using someone else's > Windows machine for a few minutes. > In the same sense OpenBSD does not promote the use of non free software. It would be wrong if their distribution contained non-free software. But some where ( just like you use take help from the mobile phone owner to use it ) in the ports system are instructions to install a non-free software which is not mandatory for users to use. Do you get the logic at least now? Can you see through the hypocrisy? > I don't think the words quoted are my exact words.
