@sam I saw the paragraph over a year ago, but I couldn't find it recently. Now I see why. :) -

@zykotick9 by “as they do”, don't you mean “knowing enough about FS to tell it apart from non-FS even when Debian doesn't”? -

@pehjota if you could find reference to that, i'd be interested (and surprised). -

@zykotick9 ISTR !FSF saying that !Debian is OK for users who understand software freedom, but not OK to recommend to those new to !FS. -

@csolisr Doesn't that only happen with source to assets? I've never been unable to edit .JPEG images, but Photoshop source files? Hmm... -

@cwebber When you can't edit a fanart because it was edited with non-free software, you'll reconsider if that measure isn't worth enforcing. -

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

@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 -

Is that true? I think encouraging "build from source media assets" is great and enforcing it is terrible. -

@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!
