AbiWord has a collaboration feature that works like Google Docs, without the
SaaSS aspect. The user still trusts AbiCollab to host the document (is there
an option to self-host?). I guess that the hierarchy is this:
1. OwnCloud: software on user's server, document on user's server
2.

When I visit Vimeo's front page with IceCat, the video thumbnails don't show,

This FSF page says that Vimeo has the same problem as YouTube's HTML5
option. I suppose that means that the video format is potentially libre, and
the video player is proprieatry. The FSF's comment about Vimeo was added

The local inbox always synchronizes with the webmail. If I delete something

automatically) to make sure that I don't run out of storage space.

They also teach how to make operating systems and programs for the nand-gate

Does Inatux's hardware require nonfree software?
If yes, then we should remove Inatux from the list of vendors in the
Documentation. Also, how do we know that their hardware requires nonfree

Has anyone bought from InaTux? They sell desktop PCs with a free BIOS, and
the hardware is free software compatible.

I read RMS' article about Javascript, Flash, and other non-free website code:

In what ways are users vulnerable to proprietary Javascript? If there are
examples, could you please provide links?
I mean, in what ways can third parties control the non-free website software,
that a user may not agree with if fully informed?
For example: can non-free website software access and report on information
in users' web browsers? How about local home folders?

that's the issue).
