What I meant with my comment was that we want this to be a positive push
for free software alternatives,
not a 'your an asshole for using non-free software' because that detracts
from the goal of promoting free software.
These goals are not mutually-exclusive. We should be able to provide some
education on free software in a prominent and meaningful way, without shaming
the user or making it difficult to install the software.
Thanks for explaining this in such a clear way :)
Strawman proposal: I'm imagining a moderately-sized red banner that says
something along the lines of "This software does not respect your freedom. <a
href="...">Learn more...</a>", which would be hard to miss, but
also not so
large that it gets in the way or slows down the user. Currently the little red
Proprietary license tag is easy to ignore and doesn't mean much. Kalev showed
me a screenshot showing the existing "Learn more..." link in the software
sources dialog, but that's somewhat buried and very easy to ignore.
This would be a nice start - is something like this doable?
