Re: [Trisquel-users] New Trisquel MATE live cd

Not really a good example. By that standard all non-free software is OK. None  
of it is OK. It is an example of an extremely difficult situation to avoid  
with no good solution. In comparison there are many free desktop  
environments. There shouldn't be anything wrong with MATE though anyway from  
an ethical or free software perspective so your still OK here. Even though it  
comes from the Linux Mint project the developers aren't writing non-free  
code. There bundling non-free code. There is a difference. So while it is OK  
to use the code which they produce it isn't OK to use the distribution.
