"does the FSF counter by forking Ubuntu and removing that feature?"
It was forked in 2007; the FSF sponsors gNewSense (http://www.gnewsense.org/ http://www.gnewsense.org/).
You can find a list of the distributions the FSF recommends at https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html
- vacri 14y agoWhy didn't gNewSense just fork Debian? All they'd need to do would be disable the 'non-free' repo and block the offending firmware blobs. Instead they have to fork a fork of Debian and have more work on their plate stripping things out.
