No one is suggesting that people can not do what they want with their
computers. I posed this topic to the list because it is my opinion that
it is counter productive and immoral for us to be advocating the usage
of non-Free software on a platform who's stated goal is "Build the
operating system exclusively from open source software." That's it.
Please let's not let this turn into a silly flame war. This was never my
intention. I simply wanted to bring a good question to the attention of
group of good people so it can be discussed.
Thank you,
Adam Kosmin

it is."
