Z:gnu-www-ja-gnu-linux-faq--fdd036-The widespread practice of add/en

The widespread practice of adding non-free software to the GNU/Linux system is a major problem for our community. It teaches the users that non-free software is ok, and that using it is part of the spirit of &ldquo;Linux&rdquo;. Many &ldquo;Linux&rdquo; User Groups make it part of their mission to help users use non-free add-ons, and may even invite salesmen to come and make sales pitches for them. They adopt goals such as &ldquo;helping the users&rdquo; of GNU/Linux (including helping them use non-free applications and drivers), or making the system more popular even at the cost of freedom.
