    @zykotick9 that's conflating two dimensions: Free Software vs non-Free non-Software

    @d3f and they're maintained by Debian volunteers using Debian infrastructure. double thinking of it as not Debian doesn't solve the problem

    @zykotick9 see, that's where the difference between using (choosing only Free) and recommending (with bundled non-Free) is

    I bought starcraft II, yet I don’t feel good about that. It’s a compromise, not a complete joy. I also drive by car at times.

    @thelastproject i agree. free software + free art = free society. copyleft FTW!

    @cwebber if the software is free, and the art isn't - i can appreciate that (only due to RMS's view TBH). i own doom 1&2&3 ;)

    Well put. RD @cwebber I think encouraging "build from source media assets" is great, and enforcing it is terrible.

    Game art should at least be redistributable imho. If you can't redistribute the game art, you can't run the game, as it depends on it.

    Last time I checked it was this way. Encouraging is great, but I think Debian punishes too much, as the art files are still usable and Free.

    License freeness/non-freeness is good; though plenty of liberated pixel cup sprites were edited pixel by pixel; it's more complex here

    @thelastproject fyi RMS has no issue with game art being non-free. i don't think deb is "too strict", either it's free, or it's not!

    It is all properly licensed (CC-BY-SA mostly), though. And the FSF considers it Free Software. Yet Debian doesn't.

    I personally think Debian is too strict. I know Red Eclipse is in their non-Free repository because they miss GIMP/etc. files for artwork...

    @d3f where fsf and debian disagree in what's "free", becomes a grey area for me ;)

    they are hosted on debians servers afaik - and I am only telling you the fsf-points for me - I use debian and I like their freedom.

    @d3f this is an opportunity! contrib & non-free are not debian! "you're on your own" should be told to anyone seeking non-free support

    @robmyers debian is free! the fsf server room, that goes to great lengths, to be "libre" uses it. BUT they don't recommend it?

    @thelastproject yes. debian should be on FSF's list of approved distro's. this is an issue! work/compromise on both sides is needed.

The Free Software Foundation, founded in 1985, is dedicated to promoting computer users' right to use, study, copy, modify, and redistribute computer programs. The FSF promotes the development and use of free (as in freedom) software -- particularly the GNU operating system and its GNU/Linux variants -- and free documentation for free software. The FSF also helps to spread awareness of the ethical and political issues of freedom in the use of software, and its Web sites, located at fsf.org and gnu.org, are an important source of information about GNU/Linux.
