Re: [Trisquel-users] Question about Free GNU/Linux distributions

Yeah, but software shouldn't be categorized into whether someone considers it  
practical or not. All software should be free ("We defend the rights of all  
software users", says the FSF - not "We defend the rights of some software  
users.")

I'm reminded of someone else that was also taking issue with the whole  
"practical" thing: http://blog.ninapaley.com/2011/07/04/rantifesto/ where she  
says "The problem with this is that it is dead wrong. You do not know what  
purposes your works might serve others. You do not know how works might be  
found “practical” by others. To claim to understand the limits of  
"utility" of cultural works betrays an irrational bias toward software and  
against all other creative work. It is anti-Art, valuing software above the  
rest of culture. It says coders alone are entitled to Freedom, but everyone  
else can suck it."
