Re: [orca-list] Trisquel GNU/Linux 6.0 LTS is out in pre-release edition

[Alex Midence <alex midence gmail com>]

Hahahah, now, I want to download and install Voxin onto this distro.  I most
likely won't due to time constraints though.  I respect the FSF and what
they've done but not enough to go all hard line about it.  I think people
ought to be free to use what they want when they want as long as they don't
violate any laws in the doing.  Software is written to serve us not the
other way around, after all.

My two cents,
Alex M

If you want Voxin on Trisquel, you're missing the point; use something else!
