Re: [Trisquel-users] JavaScript code must be eliminated, not just made free

[lloyd]

The only way we're gonna get rid of javascript is to come up with something  
better. I don't mean better from a freedom standpoint - I mean functionally  
better. It needs to offer something compelling even to people who don't care  
about freedom. From our point of view, we need to make sure that it is also  
free. Most people will adopt it for the features, and we'll be happy because  
it's free.

LibreJS is a non-starter. Tagging JS and linking to licenses is just never  
going to take off in a big way. And anyway, I agree with onpon4 that even if  
it did take off, it wouldn't solve the problem. IMHO LibreJS is seriously  
hindering adoption of IceCat at the moment, which is a crying shame because  
everything else about that browser is just awesome.
