This is a terrible article. It's got factual inaccuracies: "FSF accepts LGPL
ONLY under certain circumstances."
It confuses the concepts of free software and open source: "FSF has done
amazing things for open source"... "Trisquel is actually an amazing distro
for people that don’t like fancy things like Gnome-Shell, Cinnamon and KDE.
Also if you want to be an Open Source activist, is the right place to start
:)"
And it talks about non-free media codecs like they're a good thing: "Of
course it also ships Libre Office and a bunch of Media Apps, but don’t
expect non-free codecs here. However it is Ubuntu, you can install them :)"
