2) If supporting non-free software is bad,
What I object to is referring people to non-free software as something
to install. "Supporting" is a broader term, and includes various
different practices. I don't object to all of them.
I just finished listening to the BSDTalk interview for the second time
and this is what I think:
Richard explains in the interview that all BSD distributions (not
OpenBSD specifically) INCLUDE non-free software in their ports system.
Using the "normal" definition of include, this statement is incorrect.
I've offered to ask them to post a note to clarify what I meant. I
have not seen a response to that offer, but I have decided to ask them
anyway. I do not want to misinform anyone.
