"And the company behind Debian is? Possibly the largest free software/open
source project on earth."
Come on, usually Debian is considered to be the unholy dirt of linux
distributions cause they dare to host an optional non-free repository, but
suddenly it becomes the positive example for how to make free software
without being a company?
I can tell you why Debian is what it is: because it has a huge userbase.
And why is that? Because it didn't frighten new users to death with too
extreme "we don't know that non-free software even exists" rules.
I'm glad that debian didn't bow down to the fsf; probably it wouldn't exist
today.
And the simple logic goes like this:
No Debian -> No Ubuntu -> No Trisquel.
Really, after almost one year in this board and with Trisquel, I get the
impression that the only work trisquel does is removing stuff from other
people's work and blaming them for being not ethical.
Best example now with mozilla. There is no prove for any privacy violation,
they just wanted to make money; but trisquel does what it can best: removing.
