You bring up some good points; sorry if I seemed combative in my previous
post.
I've been thinking... If Trisquel has removed Firefox in part because of its
suggestion of non-free software and add-ons, would it be fair to ask why game
emulators are not seen as similarly problematic? Would the use and
availability of these emulators represent an unacceptable breach of truly
FOSS ethics? I do not wish to start an argument, I'm genuinely curious as to
how free software ethics regarding emulators play out.
To clarify, what I mean is that game emulators like FCEUX and ZSNES all have
an implied "suggestion" of using non-free games. After all, the purpose of
these (albeit FOSS) programs is to play proprietary ROMs. With this in mind,
I'm considering removing the emulators and ROM collections from my netbook.
Regards.
