If the GNOME Foundation is considering inviting members of the community to use Bountysource to communicate with the Foundation, that raises two ethical issues: * Privacy. This would result in giving Bountysource people's personal data, which it shouldn't have any right to know. * Free software. Many web sites require visitors to run nonfree software to use some or even all of the functionality. See http://gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html. Does Bountysource work without nonfree JS? I don't know, but one can't presume that. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way! That's nonfree (freedom-denying) software. Use Ekiga or an ordinary phone call. _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
