It doesn't raise valid ethical concerns, it's just useless. Like upstream Winetricks and unlike Wine, PlayOn(GNU/)Linux should raise concerns. It may still be trolling because: - Do they ship PlayOnLinux without patches to get rid of nonfree recommendations? I don’t know, in particular: - Does Ututo even exist anymore? Apparently not.

Re: [Trisquel-users] [Dev] [libreplanet-discuss] Misleading information in EOMA68 news
(I forgot to reply to all lists… Sorry.) It seems the problem is the meaning of “libre” in terms of unreleased hardware/software. EOMA68 certainly is aligned with libre culture and significant for freedom because of its modularity standard. It also is GPL-compliant like any unreleased product, but this does not mean much. I believe the claim that it is “free from the very beginning” is imprecise but not deceptive and *not a problem* if all available sources will eventually be released. A clear promise to release what is missing would seem fair though. Regards, Florian Pelz
