[Trisquel-users] Re : Automation, free software and moral duty
Your examples are patents on software or processes. No doubt those patents (illegal in most jurisdictions: in the EU, in China, in India, in Brazil, etc.) work against innovation. However, I am not sure that statement can be generalized to any type of patent. In fact, patents were introduced as an alternative to industrial secret, so that knowledge is spread across the whole society after twenty years of monopoly. And patents on physical systems are to be specific and worded in precise terms (e.g., the "best mode" in US patents).

Re: [Trisquel-users] DuckDuckGo? Change to YaCy.
block nonfree websites? how do you plan to do this? if you mean librejs, you will be doing people a disservice because tor browser is designed to be anonymous - running arbitrary code (you can never check what the "free" sites are actually sending you) removes anonymity! "Hint: if non-free software > free software, we should not use a software at all… because free software can be destroyed by a non-free worm." - what does this even mean? it is really unlikely you will get malware if you take sufficient precautions. this seems like it will cause significatly more problems than it is designed to solve

Re: [Trisquel-users] Automation, free software and moral duty
Wel has far has I understand patents, they can apply to anything, it unrealistic but it is how it works. A few years ago someone wanted to show the absurdity of the system by patenting snowmen’s and he actually got the patents to it. In some case you don't patent the product itself but the means of making it or using it. For example someone patented in texas how to connect to wifi, not the technical aspect but how a normal users clicks on a certain window and then insert the password etc... This shows how absurd patents are. see this (sorry for youtube) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eatfgXTMFf0 A other aspect of patents is for the future, the problem is that since patents and industrial secrets tends to monopolize knowledge, in the end it only crushes the little of free market that can exist and only amplifies monopolies. We are losing knowledge in general instead of it expanding it. Once I thought that patent problem could be resolved by using a special kind of patent that would legally enforce a company to share their advancements related to the use of the said patented object, but you can go easily around it, plus if you don't have a lot of money you can't do anything to protect the sharing perspectives introduced in it.
[Trisquel-users] Re : DuckDuckGo? Change to YaCy.
Ever heard of "freedom of expression"? You clearly show us, over and over, that you do not know what free software is (Internet is a network: it cannot be free or non-free), that you know little about security and privacy, and, I guess, that you probably cannot even program (any reference?).
[Trisquel-users] Re : New STK versions are broken with CC-BY-NC license.
Can I distribute Uplink (open source but non-free computer game (...)) Uplink is neither (OSI) "open source" nor (FSF) free software. The only situation when I can distribute open (non-free) software is ignoring license. You are wrong. The very first point of the "open source" definition actually is about "free distribution" (that the license "shall not restrict"): https://opensource.org/osd In practice, almost all programs under an "open source" license are "free software" (the FSF and the OSI disagree on a couple of unpopular licenses). The main difference between the terms "free software" and "open source" lies in the defended values: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html

Do a background check on each and every developer behind the software you use, if you wish. I simply thank them for developing free software... Why does the kernel enter this discussion?
[Trisquel-users] Re : DuckDuckGo? Change to YaCy.
Yes, my main language is Russian. 0. Block non-free websites 1. If the Internet is non-free (the non-free software installed to the largest Internet providers) and spying, we must to fight with the non-free software using my secret project. I can tell info, but not now. I need to use very secure system over Tor, SSL, OTR/PGP and other security. My provider shouldn't receive more info. I talked with my friend using unencrypted chat, but I cannot publish my plans because provider can think "I'm just an idiot" now, but if i publish it and start development… After some months you can write me an PM. I will send info how to contact me using encrypted chat. My project will be released into Internet for fighting non-free software. But I think, I don't need to trust people. They can ruin my life. Hint: if non-free software > free software, we should not use a software at all… because free software can be destroyed by a non-free worm.
[Trisquel-users] Antwort: DuckDuckGo? Change to YaCy.
Sorry, but what you're saying is completely twisted and confusing - I can not make any sense out of it, and I doubt that it's just because of a language problem. Releasing Tor Browser (which is already released), non-free internet, blocking some websites, mysterious secrets you cannot tell it just blows my mind. What do you actually want to say and why?

The NC licensed tracks and arenas are not included in SuperTuxKart; they are part of a separate gift package and are not included in Trisquel. The STK team is not violating any license because the copyright holder can do whatever they want.

It is secret, do not ask info (I can tell info after connecting my VERY secure system). Hint: what will happens if Internet will be non-free? We will finish using Internet.

stas730 basically only comes here to pretend he discovers freedom issues in some program: https://trisquel.info/fr/users/stas730/track He never gives any good explanation and his denunciations never turn out to true. By the way, it is not the first time he imagined issues with Ryzom: https://trisquel.info/fr/forum/free-3d-mmorpg-ryzom-not-fully-free-i-played-wow-many-years%E2%80%A6-and-i-want-replace-game-free-mmor onpon4's reply is excellent (as always): You're such an insane ideologue and zealot. Would it hurt to think about actual reasons to be opposed to things, and maybe choose not to oppose perfectly benign things from time to time? Ryzom is entirely libre. Not only has the client code (the only code that would run on your computer) been released, even the server code has been released, and all of the game's media has been released, all under libre licenses. Ryzom is the pinnacle of perfection when it comes to ethics! https://trisquel.info/fr/forum/free-3d-mmorpg-ryzom-not-fully-free-i-played-wow-many-years%E2%80%A6-and-i-want-replace-game-free-mmor#comment-96971

[Trisquel-users] Re : DuckDuckGo? Change to YaCy.
DRM always is proprietary software. Disabling JavaScript, sending an empty user agent, ... would make fingerprinting far easier, i.e., would work against the "anonymity" goal. "Safe Browsing" does not "block non-free content". It protects against malware, such as phishing thank to information from... Google: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-does-phishing-and-malware-protection-work For anonymity, the Tor Browser is, today, the best. It is clear from what you write that you would not do better. To not execute proprietary JavaScript, an alternative to disabling JavaScript is the LibreJS extension. It is enabled by default in GNU IceCat, which also has its own 100% free add-on site. IceCat's default security and privacy are better than Firefox's too (HTTPS-Everywhere, SpyBlock, some fingerprinting countermeasures). As for GCC, it can compile itself but other C++ compilers can compile it as well. That conceptually only pushes the problem further. However, the very first compiler for a language can be written in another language (including assembler) and there is the bootstrapping technique, which is very popular: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootstrapping_(compilers) Anyway, I do not understanding why compiling with GCC would be a relevant requirement (e.g., LLVM is free software too). Anyway, Firefox usually is compiled with GCC.
[Trisquel-users] Re : DuckDuckGo? Change to YaCy.
As far as I know, my browser does not run any proprietary software (e.g., JavaScript) when searching the Web from https://duckduckgo.com/html I do not execute the code to crawl the Web, order the results, etc. And I am not even sure that code is proprietary. If the company behind DuckDuckGo is the only user of that code, then it trivially is free software.
Re: [Trisquel-users] New STK versions are broken with CC-BY-NC license.
CC-BY-NC isn't used for anything included in the game; all of the assets are free. There is an extra gift pack under CC-BY-NC containing tracks/arenas that have not yet been included in the game. Once those tracks are included in the game, they will be released under a free license. https://supertuxkart.net/Licensing https://supertuxkart.net/Donate

STK's code is all under the GNU GPLv3. As far as I understand, CC BY-NC is only used for some of the textures, models, sounds, music, etc., i.e., purely artistic works. Many of us do not object to CC BY-NC when it applies to non-functional works. What is wrong about Ryzom?
[Trisquel-users] Re : Scratch discussion: delete or not?
In English, https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.en.html#Scratch reads: Scratch 1.4 license: This is not a free software license because it does not allow commercial redistribution. In addition, condition 4 substantively restricts the functionality of modified versions. Newer versions Scratch software are distributed under the GNU GPL, but some of those newer version we do not recommend, because they depend on the proprietary software, Adobe Air. Since "newer versions Scratch software are distributed under the GNU GPL", there is no "need to delete Scratch in Trisquel 8.0" like you ask for. Of course, Trisquel will never include one of the versions that "depend on the proprietary software, Adobe Air".

Images… disable or not? Fully disabling, not partially. - Windows 7 user agent… or "HIDDEN" or just not sending user agent if possible. - FREEDOM: blocking non-free content with safebrowsing - Anonymity - Based on Tor Browser Bundle - Compiler: GCC… stop. How GCC compiled if written on C? - TorFree CA. Or other gratis EV CA in Tor network.
