> Now, I don't think Trisquel has back doors, but it might have some
libraries that I might prefer to remove to further protect myself. And being
free software, it's my right to do so =)
You don't have to protect yourself from this libraries;
many independent developers have read the code. If it's free software (and it
is, since it is included in trisquel) you can almost be sure that it doesn't
contain malicious features.
And what's so special about those libs?
As someone said before, webkit is used by many free browsers; it's not a
proprietary google technology.
You can give the code of the geo lib to a friend of yours who knows how to
program, but I'm sure it isn't necessary.
Gimp is one damn popular program, thousands of people are using it;
if it uses a lib which spies on you, someone finds out and removes it.
Of course you are free to remove those libs; but in my opinion, it's not
sensible.
