Re: GNOME now

    I don't know what is that "nonfree Javascript" you mention.

If you try to use youtube.com with HTML5, you will see that it sends
you JavaScript code.  That code does not carry a free software license,
so it is nonfree.  (Any program lacking an explicit free license
is nonfree.)

     It will play just fine if your web browser supports the
    HTML5 <video> element.

Unfortunately the HTML5 mode depends on running the nonfree JavaScript
code.  It does not work at all if JavaScript is deactivated, for
instance.

See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html
for more about this issue.
