Would it be possible to fund a scientific survey on how many people would buy a 100% free-as-in-freedom computer (desktop, mobile, TV, e-reader etc) if it was a ) available in a local shop, b) everything just worked out-of-the-box, and c) the #UX was not only as good, but better, than a proprietary OS? With solid numbers on demand, it might be easier to convince hardware companies to sell #RespectsYourFreedom compatible components. #FSF? #FSFE? #SFLC? #SFC? #OSI #EFF?

Hallå Kitteh (clacke@social.heldscal.la)'s status on Thursday, 16-Nov-2017 01:36:56 UTC Hallå Kitteh As I mess about with this, I get the impulse to look at what else is in my wiki, apart from the start page. I know there's a #guix intend-to-package page in there, but I discovered I also wrote something on #SFC, #SFLC and #debian 18 months ago, which apparently I never posted anywhere! That's the only page in the wiki apart from the start page and the guix page.
That I would discover that post right now, how's that for #synchronicity?
NOTE: History had Debian go with the Conservancy interpretation rather than the Law Center interpretation, and not shipping ZFS in the kernel.

The #SFLC Software Freedom Law Center is a pure legal outfit under Eben Moglen.
https://softwarefreedom.org
The #SFC Software Freedom Conservancy is a fiscal sponsor (umbrella project) founded by Bradley Kuhn, led by Karen Sandler.

Bradley is on pump.io at https://identi.ca/bkuhn , is super busy and is not a lawyer, but he knows too much law. -

Internet shutdowns are directly proportional to the #politics. Sarath from #SFLC was demonstrating it live at #4CCon
