-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Please inform free distro maintainers Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2012 00:22:34 -0400 From: Richard Stallman <r...@gnu.org> Reply-To: r...@gnu.org To: br...@gnu.org I added this suggestion to /distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html. Please forward it to the maintainers of the free distros. <h3 id="upstream">Please Teach Users about Free Software</h3> <p>To establish lasting freedom, just giving users freedom isn't sufficient. It is necessary also to teach them to understand what it means and to demand it. Thus, we suggest and urge that free distros announce prominently on the screen, before login and on the default desktop after login, a prominent statement about freedom, such as “This system is freedom-respecting free/libre software” or something comparable, and to present a link or icon pointing at gnu.org or gnu.org/philosophy for further information about the issue.</p> -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way! That's nonfree (freedom-denying) software. Use free telephony http://directory.fsf.org/category/tel/
