    @csolisr IMHO, that's not fortunate; 1st step is for them to learn to recognize software that denies them freedom, and to want freedom

    @csolisr it's just as dishonest as inviting others to “come share freedom!” into their own trap

    @csolisr they're entitled to their views, but arguing for sth as a 1st step only while rejecting the 2nd is dishonest

    @lxoliva Fortunately, beginner users don't notice the software they're lacking - unless !LibreJS is involved.

    @lxoliva Good point. At least I try to use Trisquel as step 1, and if that happens to not work, a switch to Ubuntu or Mint.

    @csolisr the problem is not what they choose for themselves, it's that they *promote* taking only step 1

    @lxoliva If they don't dare to take step 2 fully at first, they will NEVER take step 2. Move on in that case.

    @nadvm Being based on Ubuntu is I think a good thing, especially for newbies. I also prefer Trisquel's stance on !freesoftware to Debian's.

    @bobjonkman excellent distinction. However, if more people #Flattr 'd projects. bounties might be unnecessary.

    @bobjonkman Though I was thinking Kickstarter-ish, where many people donate, the more people want a bug fixed, the more it pays to fix it.

#Freesoftware

Primary audience

all, free software advocates, Linux users

Definition

Free software or software libre is software that guarantees the freedom to be used, studied, and modified without restriction, and the freedom to be copied and redistributed in modified or unmodified form either without restriction, or with minimal restrictions only to ensure that further recipients can also do these things and that manufacturers of consumer-facing hardware allow user modifications to their hardware. Free software in most cases is also available gratis (free of charge). However the focus of the term "free" is on freedom. R. Stallman summarised the difference in a slogan: "Think free as in free speech, not free beer."
