Hello,

I believe this is indeed a very good suggestion. An attractive pop-up 
window appearing the first time GNOME starts up might be just the right 
way to do it, and it would be easy to develop once the text we wish to 
include is done.

I also want to add that Argentina is currently forking debian testing 
with gnome-shell into a distro called "Huayra" [1], which will be 
included in thousands of netbooks provided by the government to 
students; and they have added a pop-up window like this which explains 
briefly the differences between free and non-free software, and thus the 
advantages of free software.
