To establish lasting freedom, just giving users freedom isn't sufficient. It is necessary also to teach them to understand what it means and to demand it. Thus, we suggest and urge that free distros announce prominently on the screen, before login and on the default desktop after login, a prominent statement about freedom, such as &ldquo;This system is freedom-respecting free/libre software&rdquo; or something comparable, and to present a link or icon pointing at gnu.org or gnu.org/philosophy for further information about the issue.
