I think I meant HURD? Anyway, I'll check out Devuan as I've never heard (no pun intended) of it. So FSF uses Linux? Hmmm...

I think the FSF installs Trisquel Linux on their work laptops: https://trisquel.info/ I still run Debian, but am increasingly tempted to give a serious shot to a systemd-free OS like Devuan.

Sorry if I trigger anyone ... just my opinion.That opinion isn't shared by the FSF, who consider permissive licenses to be "free" by their own definition. https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.en.html Of course, FSF does claim that "free" and "open source" are different. But they don't claim that permissive licenses, as a type, are not free. By your definition, Linux would not be FOSS, since the kernel is licensed under the GPL version 2, and subject to Tivoization. The FSF came up with the term "Tivoization" in response to the kernel's license.--_______________________________________________ nmglug mailing list nmglug@lists.nmglug.org http://lists.nmglug.org/listinfo.cgi/nmglug-nmglug.org_______________________________________________ nmglug mailing list nmglug@lists.nmglug.org http://lists.nmglug.org/listinfo.cgi/nmglug-nmglug.org
