GNOME Foundation Annual Report for 2007

Might be viable (I have no idea), but it wasn't used by the designer. This is in no relation
to whatever state it might be. It wasn't used for whatever reason (like in an RFC; MAY vs
MUST, etc).

Searching for straws? I don't see the relation to this report. Even if the intention might be
to be able to do everything using GNOME software, then how does it relate to what was used to
create this report? The content is what the foundation did over the last year.


I think your intention is to say that any use of non-free software means that GNOME foundation
is not following its goals. I don't agree with that. Further, you can develop an alternative
while every once in a while using something else.
