I wouldn't say it would be forcing Trisquel onto the FSF and creating
friction, but maybe just a nudge. They do use a screen of it on their front
page but I cannot check it now due to the SOPA blackout. :-)
Here is my big dilemma on why I have posted what I have in the past: I have
been building up a web business out of my home the past few months and all I
get is pressure from friends and family to get it going and make sure all of
it is locked in and proprietary. With that can come with a great investment
on my end as I would be the only vendor and method of support. Of course it
can go the other way and totally fail and I have to reconsider my life.
There is always great conflict and pressure between family members on being
successful and doing it immediately. Heck, women see it as success when they
are being courted and want the stability when they eventually want a family.
Its just hard convincing people and I have had previous employers who only
wanted to work on proprietary operating systems and paying out of the ass for
proprietary software from Microsoft. If I ever brought up open source or free
software, they would think that free equaled junk and that I needed to "grow
up" and pretty much integrate into that mentality to grow as a programmer.
They thought it was stupid to have the entire thought of giving source code
for something you worked hard on so someone could "steal" it and make money
off of it.
I even remembered showing a video of Stallman talking to a previous boss (it
was a small company) and the response was that he was some dirty communist
and I should be looking up to people like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs instead
of people like Stallman because they wanted to "give everything away for
free" and it was stupid to think that way. If I continued to think that way,
he saw it as a threat that I didn't want to make money with his company and I
should leave if that was a problem. No joke.
