Insufficiently free? Posted Dec 19, 2007 23:11 UTC (Wed) by zooko (subscriber, #2589) [Link] Thanks. Does anyone know the official stance of Gobuntu on these two reasons which deter RMS from recommending it?

I note at Gnuherds, one of FSF's ventures, this text: Gobuntu is Almost-Free Software. Although Gobuntu's stated policy is to adhere to the Free Software Foundations four freedoms, it presently installs Firefox, which encourages installing non-free plugins. Gobuntu enables downloading of non-free software packages from its archives, and the use of the ubuntu.com domain promotes non-free software. Rick Moen
