[BadVista Advocate] [ifsa] Help People in Your Area

[rek2GNU/Linux]

hmm ok let me set the record straight,
1. we are binaryfreedom and we have mission..I am not the boss and this 
is not personal, but I am going to make sure the mission is not blend 
like Erick Raymond did in the 90's, FreeSoftware not OpenSource..
if we were representing the OpenSource community we will be on the ESR 
list, not the FSF list, the real path of BF is FreeSoftware if any 
decision means bending those ideals then is not on binaryfreedom means I 
may particulary agree or not but that don't belongs to this list or the 
wiki. Talking about any Distro 100% non-free
 or User groups that don't recognize GNU as the system.
this is not about me, BinaryFreedom with have not even existed if those 
base grounds were there in the first place, and we need to continue with 
that idea.
if our ideas mismatch with other ideas then obviosly those ideas dont 
belong in the FreeSoftware fight but under the OpenSource fight.
Saying this, I cant have in the main site our Goals and Ideas and then 
have some members promote non-free distros.
I may come out like harsh because my english but I am just trying to say 
not on binaryfreedoms name, Binaryfreedom is NOT part of the open source 
community.
in my views I rather have 100 using FreeSoftware than 2000000 using 
non-free distros, period. and binaryfreedom is FreeSoftware activist I 
cant make this more clear.

About Ubuntu you can do whatever you like obviosly just don't announce 
it on binaryfreedom.
