Best article by the FSF ever, I found this just yesterday: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/practical.html Essentially, why should you be looking for better software if you are still in chains? Why should anyone postpone or altogether ignore their struggle for freedom in order to be more productive within the society that took away their freedom? I find the FSF philosophy articles are generally more succinct than I can be, so I often link people to them when they start in about the difference between free and gratis, and other common misunderstandings. -- Mark Holmquist Student, Computer Science University of Redlands [email protected] -- Ubuntu-us-ca mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-ca
