[Trisquel-users] Re : BOINC

[magicbanana]

BOINC is free software (distributed under the terms of the GNU LGPL). It can  
be used to only run free software or not (the user chooses the project she  
wants her computer to work on).

I believe my analogy with Abrowser (free software), which can run (or not)  
proprietary Javascript, is valid. If you want another one, there is the  
ScummVM precedent. This virtual machine "is almost entirely used for the  
purpose of running proprietary software" (according to the original  
description of the issue) and yet still is in Trisquel 6.0's repository  
because it is free software and can be used to run free software games.
