Perhaps most people think that the job they have is barely enough to cover their basic needs. The reality is different. You don't have to be caught in a consumer way of life. Most people can afford to have a job that pays less and have more freedom by taking that step. Anyone that can buy any computer has enough money to take a stand. You can always find examples of this in all boycotts. > Or: > If my professor at university would have told me: "you have to use > this proprietary software for your final theses, because everyone > does; otherwise, you will not get your degree and your studies have > been in vain." > then I would have used this software, because making this small > exception would have influenced my whole life. > If the Trsiquel community sais: this is a bad attitude and you don't > agree with the values of trisquel because of this, then I think I'm at > the wrong place. As I answered in another thread about the same situation, I would not blame you for using non-free software. But if I was in the same situation I would press the university until they let me use free software even with the risk of loosing my degree. I would do this even if I though that a university degree would get me a better job (which I don't). -- Saludos libres, Quiliro Ordóñez Presidente (en conjunto con el resto de socios) Asociación de Software Libre del Ecuador - ASLE Av de la Prensa N58-219 y Cristóbal Vaca de Castro Quito, Ecuador (02)-600 8579 IRC: http://webchat.freenode.net?channels=asle&uio=OT10cnVlJjEwPXRydWU3a Todo correo que reciba será tratado como información pública, de libre copia y modificación, sin importar cualquier nota de confidencialidad.
