What's so safe to you as a user about the GPL compared to other free licenses
or free programs in the public domain? All of them give you freedom; the GPL
just makes it impossible for the software to be re-released as nonfree
software. It sounds like free system would make more sense.
The naming of the OS is not about the license ,freeme. While it is true that
you can get a feeling of safety from using a GPL'd program and that the GPL

Hi,
Is it possible that graphics accelleration and software freedom issues
still prevent Trisquel from adopting the GNOME Shell as the default ui?
I'm glad Rubin chose to keep the Classic look as the default, and
offers the option of adding the GNOME Shell for users whose hardware can
work
I was guessing. It is also possible that the llvmpipe code required to get

As far as I understand those minor versions only aim at avoiding an update
