Andrew:
Actually, it's got nothing to do with freedom 0. That is the freedom to run a programme for any purpose, not an obligation to supply a programme that runs in any particular way. The point is that gNewSense should be promoting free software, and not supplying software that promotes non-free software. That's very different to putting restrictions on anybody who wants to re-write the code to make things run differently.
And later on in my email, I suggested perhaps running our own plugins repository (or cooperating with others to do so, as long as it's completely free); while having its own drawbacks, it would definitely promote free software. I'd love to hear your thoughts. --Brian
