[BadVista Advocate] Ubuntu?

[rek2 GNU/Linux LO LO LO]

Hi Michael,  some of us don't agree with ESR views and this plan he has
is just another one to the list, in my opinion  he is  the one that
corrupted OpenSource in the first place from the real meaning that Bruce
Perens and him had in mind at the beginning.

I am very firm that we should not compromise our message if we are going
to give "Free Software" as an option.
and please don't turn around my words :-) I am not saying we should
force people to use non-free but we  definitely should not promote it
even in the cases there is no option, if this is the case then we must
work harder to have and option and let the user
in the mean time decide for himself what to use.
