Re: [Trisquel-users] a reminder-list for when we're going to migrate to Trisquel

The "moral issue" is not for programmers only. The freedom to use the  
software as you wish and the freedom to distribute exact copy of the software  
do not require any programming skill. And the other freedoms are for anyone  
too... but indirectly. It is thanks of the freedom to study the source that  
you can be confident in the absence of malware (what every user wants). It is  
thanks to the freedom to modify the source code that you can have a free  
market for support (you do not rely on one single company to have a bug fixed  
or a feature added). These freedoms also are an insurance for the future of  
the free applications. As far as some users find them useful, they will be  
developed. Imagine for instance if Sun's applications (OpenOffice.org, MySQL,  
OpenSolaris, etc.) would have been proprietary. They would be without any  
future today (e.g., not ported to newer versions of the operating systems).
