However, it is trivially easy to use the

    gNewSense apt system to install unfree software.
Any general-purpose system can run non-free software, but that's not

the issue.  The issue is whether a distribution refers people to the

non-free software or not.
Since so many messages have been based on disregarding that

distinction, I suggest that everyone reread the paragraph above.
    From

Ubuntu does many things that suggest installing non-free software.  I

did not know about this example, but I know of others which are worse.

That is why I refuse to recommend Ubuntu.
