    Therefore, you don't recommend linux. Oh wait ...
I don't recommend Torvalds' version of Linux.  The versions of Linux

in Ututo and gNewSense, which I recommend, do not have the blobs.

    No it doesn't "suggest" non-free programs in any way;

    it just makes it possible and easy to install them.
Including a program by name in the ports system does suggest using

that program.  It grants the program a sort of legitimacy, and that

is what I am opposed to.
You may have a different interpretation of these facts.

That's my interpretation of them.
