    @aurele Yes, Gnash is. The code Gnash runs is not. It's like running non-free JavaScript on a free browser. It's still non-free.

    @aurele Yep, it's a shame the YouTube player is non-free. See FlashVideoReplacer http://is.gd/RwvWMk and http://is.gd/je5rmm

    @joseluis @arder I was told on IRC that !trisquel has dealt with the Thunderbird issue (but is allowed to use the trademark)

    @jokot3 I said 'not respecting freedom' in general. But thanks for your kind consideration of my perspective(!)

    @patrickniedzielski To me, a system doesn't respect freedom until it treats non-free software like copyright violations on YouTube.

    @patrickniedzielski Which is completely different from supporting a specific project (or video, or author)

    @patrickniedzielski Again, you're missing my point. Hosting non-free software is supporting the idea of installing non-free software.

    @patrickniedzielski That is contrary to the !GNU position (of respecting the four freedoms) that non-free software is immoral.

  9. Brian Shannon Brian Shannon Patrick Niedzielski

    @patrickniedzielski That is, without a doubt, endorsing installation of non-free software (not a specific project, just in general).

    @patrickniedzielski They have a repository set up specifically for the purpose of installing non-free software.

    @patrickniedzielski There is no way to prevent non-free software from running on a system if the admin wants it to.

  12. Brian Shannon Brian Shannon Patrick Niedzielski

    @patrickniedzielski No, I mean support in the sense of actively working on and endorsing. That is not respecting the four freedoms.

    @patrickniedzielski That's not what I said at all. I said it's not *respecting* freedom to *support* the installation of non-free software.

    @patrickniedzielski The base system is free, yes. But supporting the installation of non-free software is not respecting freedom.

    @patrickniedzielski True, that's why GNU doesn't recommend Debian http://is.gd/WtpZPH

    @arder Indeed. It shouldn't.
