Z:gnu-www-ja-why-gnu-linux--cd04a2-A great challenge to the futur/en

A great challenge to the future of free software comes from the tendency of the &ldquo;Linux&rdquo; distribution companies to add nonfree software to GNU/Linux in the name of convenience and power. All the major commercial distribution developers do this; none limits itself to free software. Most of them do not clearly identify the nonfree packages in their distributions. Many even develop nonfree software and add it to the system. Some outrageously advertise &ldquo;Linux&rdquo; systems that are &ldquo;licensed per seat&rdquo;, which give the user as much freedom as Microsoft Windows.
