Do Linux distributions take Firefox and laden it with advertisements?
- joeyo 17y agoThey'd certainly be within their rights if they did.
- Legion 17y agoAnd it is perfectly within everyone else's rights to frown upon it. The liberal licensing of Free software/content does not mean every use of those freedoms is a good and positive thing. And nobody is being inconsistent by treating it as a bad thing, while still recognizing it's within one's rights to do.
