@arielmt Maybe by then we should need more strict definitions of what "Free Software" is. "Just" GPL'ed bits? -

@arielmt But this analogy seems to miss the point somehow. On Windows, installing an additional browser is simple, and many actually do. -

#Ubuntu is promoting/supporting non-free software, that is bad for free software movement. -

@kr428 I don't say that shopping lens is non-free. But #Ubuntu is promoting/supporting non-free software, that is bad free software movement -

@arielmt Yes. But Windows itself does not get any less "non-free" by giving up on MSIE. -

@kesara So aren't we generally good there? I am not a fan of it, but so far I am not convinced it's "non-free" just because it is not good. -

Well, the message above is probably dated and not my own experience... good point, though. Still, goes to show M$ is not team player. -

@arielmt I failed to find any pointers on the license used for the amazon lens. _Is_ this actually non-free? -

@arielmt But it's _possible_. And easy compared to, say, dropping proprietary hardware drivers you need to even get your devices going. -
