    <description><![CDATA[More and more users of Ubuntu don't know the ethical aspects of FLOSS (Free Libre and Open Source Software). For example, numbers of new users don't make the difference between Freeware (logiciel gratuit in french) and Free Software (logiciel libre in french).<br /><br />Ubuntu should explain what Free Software is and why it is so important. We could for example :<br /><br />- print Free Software on Ubuntu CDs sent by Shipit<br />- list the 4 freedoms of Free Software in an attractive and good looking screen during installation ;<br />- add an item in System menu : About Free Software with more detailed information ;<br /><br />I work with April, a french speeking organisation aimed to promote and protect Free Software. We have a group looking for and creating resources (texts, images, movies) to explain what Free Software is and what it is so important (sensibilisation in french) :<br />http://wiki.april.org/phpwiki/index.php/Sensibilisation<br /><br />For example, why have the following documents in French :<br />http://www.expolibre.org/<br />http://www.apitux.org/index.php?2006/07/07/170-flyer-libre<br />http://www.livretdulibre.org/<br /><br />Of course it needs to be translated and adapted.<br /><br />Another reference is http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/philosophy.html<br /><br />Thanks for your interest.<br />Thanks a lot for Ubuntu.<br />

  <description><![CDATA[Great idea. I'm somewhat a bit pissed by some of the ideas proposed in this brainstorming, such as "include more non-free drivers", or "make it work whatever the way you do it". It should be clear to everyone what Free Software is, what are its advantages and its constraints.]]></description>
