5 Forcing people to use a system that doesn't meet their requirements is
6 not the right solution to this problem.

8 It's not like people using one of
9 <http://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html> distros don't use
10 non-free software _because_ the distro doesn't package it. They use
11 those distros because they don't want non-free software.

13 And with that clear, you can actually do the same using ACCEPT_LICENSES
14 in Gentoo.
15
16 If you want other people to use free software more, you can tell them to
17 use ACCEPT_LICENSES on Gentoo, or not to use non-free in Debian, or to
18 switch to one of <http://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html> distros.
19 But ultimately it's their choice and their responsibility.
