Hi everybody, recently I was discussing with the amazing Alexandre Oliva about freedom in the upcoming Debian Squeeze Linux kernel.
Here is the conversation: http://identi.ca/conversation/57096294#notice-57961623 Debian people say they moved all nonfree firmware to the non-free repository but afaik Linux-libre removes more than that. Linux-Libre main page says: "Linux-libre is a project to maintain and publish 100% Free distributions of Linux, suitable for use in Free System Distributions, removing software that is included without source code, with obfuscated or obscured source code, under non-Free Software licenses, that do not permit you to change the software so that it does what you wish, and that induces or requires you to install additional pieces of non-Free Software." I wonder if someone at the FSF checked the Squeeze kernel to see if it satisfies the FSF freedom guidelines. Thanks. -- Graziano Sorbaioli Founder, LibrePlanet Italia http://sorbaioli.org http://www.groups.fsf.org/wiki/Group:LibrePlanet_Italia
