Or, what do you mean by the 'free' in free-nix?
It's always bothered me that nix doesn't appear to have anything like the DFSG. (http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines) Asking for a package like Mozilla and having the non-free Adobe Flash plugin installed behind my back was a bit of an unpleasant shock for me. I understand that there are those who want that kind of thing, but putting it in the main package source intermixed with the free software makes it harder for me to trust nix. _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
