hello fellow /g/oys, i am a young aspiring muslim who is pursuing a career in CS.

is it haram for me to use software that violates my rights, and likewise, would it be haram for me to work on a program that violates the rights of the End User? i know there are multiple instances in the Quran that prohibit the extortion of people's freedoms, but the EULA's of some software is too vague to make any correlations.

i have already wiped my hard drive of Windows XP Gold and installed Arch on it; i will eventually install Gentoo.

>Arch
Use Parabola; Arch doesn't care about free vs. nonfree, whereas Parabola is Arch with every bit of proprietary software striped from it.
>>
Use Debian with only free software. The only reason it's not FSF approved is because it allows for the use of non-free software

It really depends on what the software does. As long as your software isn't malicious, I don't see why it would upset God. I'm a Christian and I create proprietary software. None of my code contains anything that goes against the best interests of the user or tries to hide what it does. I've been asked to do things that would go against the interests of the users and I refused. You can't control what other people do but you can always make sure you do the right thing.

Seems a little hypocritical of the FSF to tell users what they can and can't install based on optional stuff like that.

Hey since you're Muslim and all can you do the world a favor and get somebody to declare a jihad on non free software? Tried to get a crusade going but apparently the catholic church doesn't do that anymore because they are pussies.
>>
>>57304187
Well I think the more correct story is that debian provides instructions on how to use non free software. And yes, fuck the fsf.

Islam is haram
