For example Debian help forums are full of advices for novice users to activate the non-free repository. Same goes for Fedora where novice users are encouraged in forums to integrate non-official repositories with non-free software.
The official forums for a free distro shouldn't have advice to run a nonfree program. -- Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org, www.gnu.org
