>The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose

because you can't use proprietary software as you wish, for any purpose
he only recommends distros that reject softwares aganist freedom 0.

But then I can't use those distros as I wish.

>>54902946
How is that hypocrisy?

>But then I can't use those distros as I wish.
Yes you can. He doesn't recommend it, but that's not the same as stopping you.

>>54903020
You can't use those proprietary software as you wish. Stallman's list of recommended distros has no bearing on this fact.

>>54903138
No, I can't use THOSE DISTROS as I wish.

>>54903175
But by denying the use of proprietary software, it's not letting me use the distro as I wish, therefore going against 0. I'm not talking about using the software.

It's not preventing you from using proprietary software in any way. It just doesn't ship with any and doesn't have any in its repos. Nothing prevents you from getting non-free stuff from other sources.

What gave you this silly notion, anyway?

>>54904623
What about a distro whose package manager didn't install binaries, like gentoo, would that still respect freedom 0?

>>54904623
Parabola has your-freedom.

Just add another repo if you love getting fucked over so much, OP.

>>54904843
Why wouldn't it?

>>54904862
More of an "are you sure?" measure than anything else, as it's trivial to remove. Still nothing that actually stops the user from installing non-free software, not to mention having no effect on any software run outside of the package system.
