    ♻@rms "My guess is that the direct good effect [of nonfree DRMd games] will be bigger than the direct harm". Same with Ubuntu?

    @lxoliva Of course, he's pragmatic with strategy-level decisions towards the goal of freedom. Pragmatism is a means to FS, not its own end

    @silner they might be good for Linux, with its apolitical and amoral stance, but non-Free games are definitely bad for GNU and FS

    @sazius For an uncompromising !FS idealist, RMS can be surprisingly pragmatic at times (but he does also highlight the bad indirect effects)

    My favorite gnu/linux distro doesn't require a product key (i.e. drm) to install.

    @sazius I have more of an issue with DRM than with Windows. Unlike many Linux users, I think Windows is OK; it's just Linux is better :)

    @sazius Yeah I think games, however they're delivered will broaden Linux's appeal, but I really hate DRM

#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."
