   Better adherence to !ubuntu philosophy seems to be to nicely point users to free apps that match needed/desired use. Not say ur not pure nuf

     @mknepher There's no !ubuntu EULA, so no, you don't have to. It's just part of the community value system.

     @mknepher Thank you! This is the true spirit of !ubuntu.

     @teddks: So do we shun people who install ati or nvidia drivers on !ubuntu? Why not all run gnewsense?

     @mknepher !gnewsense tracks LTS releases, !ubuntu is more current. !ubuntu should help ATI/Nvidia users organize and demand free specs/sw.

     @teddks: Agree. But Shuttleworth himself is pragmatic enough to know that we're not there yet for most people.

     @mknepher Actually, we pretty much are. If you have an Intel video card, you have fully-free 3d graphics. Plenty of free wifi.

     @mknepher if it wasn't for blobs in mainline linux, you could easily have a fully-free !ubuntu system.

     @teddks Actually, you can have a fully-free system running ubuntu. I think that there are debian packages from the linuxlibre project.

     @sdanna there are. I guess I mean "officially supported fully-free system", but I only have 140 chars ;-)

     @teddks: But not every !ubuntu user cares to be that dogmatic, especially in userspace apps. Should they really be shunned or derided?

     @teddks Blobs? http://tinyurl.com/m4aepr Ya, blobs totally suck.
