then you are apparently unaware that gNewSense does indeed lead users into installing non-free software. they keep finding non-free software in their system. it may not be their intention, but it is the reality. contrast this with OpenBSD's license auditing efforts, and then objectively decide which OS, gNewSense or OpenBSD is right now, today, doing more to help users avoid non-free software. further, people believe that gNewSense contains only free software, because you told them so. as a result you are leading people to install non-free software without their knowledge. perhaps helping gNewSense developers audit the licenses of the software in their system would do more to promote your ideals of freedom than fighting over the definitions of words. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org
