Re: [Trisquel-users] Is Ubuntu Tweak fully a free program?

[sirgrant]

If it is GPL there is nothing wrong with installing it.  It would be a sort  
of caveat emptor (buyer beware) situation though because of the non-free  
software it allows you to install.  So if a user cares about freedom they  
would have to tread carefully.  This is sort of the same as how the GNU.org  
website runs on Debian GNU/Linux (http://www.gnu.org/server/) which can  
potentially offer non-free software but they are very careful not to install  
it so that makes it ok.

As far as the FSF and Trisquel goes while I don't speak for the project the  
program obviously violates the Guidelines for Free System Distribution  
(http://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html) by  
recommending non-free software so it is not included for that reason.
