If your client gets pissed off by your licensing policy, that doesn't mean free software is some kind of bullshit that is not reality-based. It just means your client has false preferences. In theory, it would not be bad for anyone if the JavaScript you write for a webpage is licensed under

Hi all, My name is Simon and i am from Austria. I am new to this list and Trisquel. I used Linux before in other distributions like Ubuntu and Debian. As a blind user I tested the Trisquel 5.5 I18N daily snapshot DVD from 17 March 2012 on a VirtualBox virtual machine. I thought i might not

See [https://trisquel.info/en/issues/2284 issue 2284]. Basically we are waiting for upstream to package it and apparently they are having some problems. There is nothing wrong with installing it yourself following the instructions on their website considering it is free software.

t3g, In your situation if you license the code that runs on the server (e.g. JavaScript code) to the client under a permissive free license (i.e. one that allows the client to release it under a non-free license) you are still providing the client with all the software freedoms. If the

You should not use facebook, since it spies on people and by using it, you encourage your friends to join in and possibly letting facebook spy on them too. This is why facebook always remains free of charge (ans doesn't use advertising banners on site): they sell the personal information

Hey Simon! As another user of Trisquel's accessibility, I'm glad to hear from you, as is the development crew, I'm sure. I don't think you need to worry about the acceleration, as the classic view is the 'norm' for this distro; if you were to enable 3d (assuming there's support for your

Who cares if rms has Aspergers? That would not diminish nor reinforce his opinions. Stallman has this great ability (in my opinion) of the philosopher: abstracting himself from the social world as it is to figure out how we could make it better. His opinions on natality are an excellent

I know, it might sound shocking, but there is some truth to what Stallman says about children. He does it in an absolutely unpolite and mostly offending way. He is, as usual, unable to bring his point across so that the majority of people understands him. Don't get me wrong, I find the way

The problem with RMS is that he is the founder of the FSF and is the main figurehead. When he says stuff like this, it also represents the FSF. I'm sure there are members of the FSF (both in his office and community) that have children and disagree with him. Let's just put this on the

Please read the thread (I know, it is long). Stallman proposes a solid approach on how to change things: write free software. As it was discussed in length in this thread, many people do make a living in this way. In fact, free software related businesses are thriving at a tremendous pace
