Hi,

As someone who has come to learn to love free software, I want to start telling people about free software.

I was wondering about telling people about free software that is NOT under the GPL. There is other free software that is not under the GPL, such as this:

http://gabrielecirulli.github.io/2048/

This game is licensed under the MIT free software licence. However, is telling people about this a problem, since it is not directly under the GPL?

I see it this way: the best solution is to tell people about GPL free software, since there is a clear connection between GPL and free software. We know this because the GPL is the FSF's licence, so if someone knows about the GPL, they will find out about free software. Am I correct?

Meanwhile, directing them to non-GPL'd free software means that they have to dig around a bit to find the FSF.

It's not really an issue, just a longer way to find freedom. I want to know what you guys, the great free software advocates think.
