> Excluding these games would cost the hypothetical GOLD user very little in
variety of gameplay, and create an incentive for either the copyright holders
of the artwork in these games to finish liberating them, or for someone to
create fully libre forks. Is this correct?
I don't think a distro focused on delivering a gaming experience would have
any sort of effect at all on the behavior of proprietary game developers. I
see no basis for them to. So just the first half of that sentence is adequate
to explain my position.
I'm not staunchly against non-trap proprietary games being in such a distro,
but I see no benefit in doing so. It seems to just be a way to complicate the
message. You can't say "100% libre", for example; you have to say "entirely
libre software but with a couple of arbitrary proprietary pieces that are not
software, carefully audited to ensure that is the case". That's not as
catchy, and it's not as easy to get behind. That's a small price to pay, to
be fair, but considering the gain is so tiny, it doesn't seem worthwhile.
