Re: [Trisquel-users] Is Chromium and its FFMPEG codecs considered free software?

[adrian . malacoda]

Recommending non-free addons does not in itself make it non-free (although it  
does make it unsuitable for inclusion in Trisquel), and I'd like to think  
anyone who uses Trisquel and goes out of their way to install additional  
software knows enough about software freedom to stay away from the non-free  
addons themselves. So the only real freedom issue with Chromium itself is the  
unknown license status of some pieces. FSDG distros definitely should err on  
the side of non-free, but for whatever reason Debian and Ubuntu go the other  
way (I would have at least expected Debian to be a little more thorough).
