Re: [libreplanet-discuss] Free Software CD for Windows?

The definition of Freedom changes from one distro to the next.

Examples:
Red Hat allows for non-free firmware, but no patented codecs (only WebM/OGG).
Debian allows for patented-codecs (MP3/MPEG4) and cloud-dependent
software (such as twitter-plugins), but only free firmware. Go figure.

I have written a VERY interesting article "Why I consider
cloud-dependent packages as non-free software ?"
Will start a separate topic on it.
