What are you so angry about? No one is talking about making it difficult for |
| 11 |
users to use "non-free" software. We're just trying to make it easy for the |
| 12 |
average user to protect him/herself legally. I haven't heard much of a |
| 13 |
mention of morals for a while. Most of the talk has just been about what |
| 14 |
would be the best defaults - BUT whatever is decided for the defaults it |
| 15 |
definately wont be difficult to change. |

And what's with your concern about removing "immorally licensed" packages from |
| 18 |
portage? Only one person mentioned that and was even shot down by people that |
| 19 |
don't use "immorally licensed" software. |
