Normal people don't care about "GNU" or "not GNU". I just wanted to clarify why this is not about "GNU/Linux".
I'm not familiar with what you're referring to.Debian's apt repositories have a "non-free" trunk. In Debian's kernel are some binary blobs for common drivers. Both are incompatible with the term "GNU/Linux".-Renegade (December 30, 2010, 11:02 PM)
Did you mean, 'Yep, so "Linux" is the wrong term'?Debian. It has both.
And did you mean, 'Tell me one major GNU/Linux distribution with a "non-free" repository or blobs in the kernel'?-Renegade (December 30, 2010, 10:24 PM)
To be absolutely clear, the reasons/motivations behind GNU/Linux are entirely political/philosophical, and NOT financial.Yep, so "GNU/Linux" is the wrong term. Tell me one major GNU/Linux distribution without a "non-free" repository or blobs in the kernel.-Renegade (December 30, 2010, 09:57 PM)
