Thanks for your opinion, they are good points, but if we do this we will
only mention FreeSoftware,
and the point will be to let people know about DRM, Software patents and
other digital/internet issues, more than trying to get them to use
GNU/Linux but we will offer them the option to use FreeSoftware to be
save of this dangers ;-)
is just a way to call their atention instead of telling them "use
FreeSoftware", better to have a social problem that affects them
and give Freesoftware as the solution.
