[Trisquel-users] Re : Replicant 4.0 released

[ben]

I would be the first in line to purchase a smartphone running 100% free  
software.  But such a phone does not exist.  In the meantime, I use an  
imperfect solution, one that is recommended by the FSFE :  
http://fsfe.org/campaigns/android/liberate.en.html

I am glad that we're able to run fully-free systems on our computers  
(although as Chris mentioned, there's always non-free software lurking  
somewhere, like in the BIOS), and look forward to the day when some  
smartphones (which are actually small computers that are able to make phone  
calls) will also be able to run fully-free operating systems.  In the  
meantime, I am aware that I am making a compromise, a trade-off between  
ideological purity and functionality.  I am glad that I don't have to make  
this trade-off for my computers as I only purchase free-software friendly  
hardware.
