Re: Software Freedom Day

How does this tie in to the Franklin Street Statement? It might be worthwhile to make some mention how we are supportive of the Franklin Street Statement as we launch a web service. It would tie in well with Software Freedom Day also if we could give some indication that we thought about it. I
