It is not only Stallman's opinion.<br>It is also my opinion and I hope that more people here also agree with us that software freedom matters.</blockquote></div><div><br></div><div>Shure it does. Freedom of software matters, but the ability for all delegates to participate equally and the survival of PPI matters way, way more.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Going head first through the wall and demanding a free solution is idiotic. We can use a non-free solution now, continue to work and press this ideology and maby in 10 years we'll be able to use only free software. But if we sabotage ourselves for the sake of our ideals... who will fight for free software <font size="1">(and privacy and against censorship and freedom of the people not just software -remember this is the pirate movement)</font> than?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Fanatic following of young ideals is like shooting yourself in the foot. It never works out.</div><div><br></div><div>And always remember one of the more important rules of politics. What you cant pass as a whole in one day, split it up and pass it fragment by fragment over a decade.</div>
