The question is: WHY we want limit non-free software to minimum ?

since we removed NON-OSS stuffs from DVD i see no reson to keep that to
minimum. lots of distros (mandriva, ubuntu, ecc) provides a non-free
repo (not enabled by default) that provides everything is useful to
end-user like codec, skype, drivers (broadcom, madwifi, ecc) and so on.

if we can made end-user's life easier, why shouldn't do it?

Andrea
