It is not a religious position to back up freedom and in consequence
free software. It is a political position in favor of digital rights. It
isn't a way to avoid paying for other people's work. It is a way to have
the right to control the way our own computers work and to prevent
artificial monopolies over intangible assets. It is a matter of fairness
to the user. It deffends the users rights to do as they like with their
own computer and to share with others as with every other possession you
have.
Ubuntu has a lot of software that respects your freedom but it has small
parts that are nonfree. This makes the whole system nonfree. As with a
virus, just one program that is nonfree can control the whole computer.
A good alternative is Trisquel. <http://trisquel.info/en>
I would suggest calling the operating system with its name (GNU) and not
with the name of its kernel (Linux). An alternative is to call it GNU
with Linux to give equal credit to the greatest part (the OS) and the
kernel.
It is important to respect and value other peoples positions and
opinions. People that use Windows probably do not know or give the real
magnitude about the abuse they are subject to but they are the victims.
They are not the ones that attach the users. Nevertheless, I agree that
if someone wants freedom to be included in the cookbook, it is their own
duty to complete the manual with that information.
These opinions are not being used to offend anyone. I do not live in an
English speaking country or is my native language. Please understand I
do not mean any offense to anybody even if it the way it sounds.
