Dear Kevin Dwyer

I have no problem working in a non-free environment as long as I am
free. As long as our target is the same, which is freedom for everyone,
I do not see how much we can actually disagree. You mention about
recommending 99% free GNU+Linux distributions like Ubuntu to Windows
users. That is in line with our goal, assuming you had educated those
users about software freedom, with the eventual goal of using a 100%
free platform. All these migration takes time, I understand, even the
FSF has not finish moving away from Debian.

Thus, if a user approaches me for help in installing/using Ubuntu, I
would not refuse to help him. However, I would not recommend anyone
using those non-free software as a member of the free software movement.
