> Yes, HTML is a markup language. It's a document. And according to Stallman,
any "work", textual or otherwise, that is used for a practical job should be
free.
That's the point with pure html: you're not doing any practical work with it.
You're just looking at it, like at a picture or a book.
Javascript does practical work.
No need for LibreHMTL.
Of course Javascript in the browser can't be just as harmful as a binary
blob, I agree with you on that.
But I don't think non-free javascript is just an issue for the "special
freedom geeks";
The free software movement is not just about protecting users from maleware.
It includes a different issue, and sometimes we have to talk about
principles.
I don't want any huge javascript program to be executed on my pc;
look at all the websites.
They're overloaded with unnecessary and obfuscated jscode from advertising
sites or google.
Owner of websites treat people like dirt, saying: swallow this and this and
execute it on your pc; don't ask what it's actually doing.
This is not ethical, and we must refuse to use it.
I don't want any newbie being shocked by a broken non-js web experience, just
like you.
But what I wrote above is not what I expect to happen when running a 100%
free system.
It's not what I call using my pc in freedom.
If we work together and create a whitelist for the most important pages,
things aren't so bad;
"Most of the web is unusable without javascript" is exaggerated and talking
about non-free javascript, it is much exaggerated.
