Re: [Trisquel-users] I want Unity without VirtualBox. Proprietary scope.

Don't be so... zealous. It reminds me of the person who wanted to delete  
"libdrm" which was direct rendering manager.
If it is in the Trisquel repositories, it is free software, except on  
occasion where the "de-blobbing" of certain packages goes slightly wrong,  
e.g. certain firmware packages.
The Virtualbox packages are so that Trisquel can be optimised for use in  
Virtualbox. Just because it is not in the Trisquel repository does not mean  
that we can't support people using Virtualbox to use Trisquel, e.g. in  
Windows. It is only as bad as making free software for Windows (which is a  
good thing, as it helps people to transition to free software).
