Sorry my reply was so dry. I shouldn't reply to email on Friday evenings :) I appreciate spirit of your idea, and great things happen when everything is questioned. I think that the main point is that as well as freedom and privacy, we want to offer the best possible experience to users. Sometimes that means we need to make trade-offs (like providing closed-source drivers). As it stands right now, Google is the best option for search and many other services, they are very open source friendly and vastly more open than other of the popular search engines. If we found another search engine that could match Google's quality, and it was more open, I'm sure we'd jump to it in a heartbeat. The main message I wanted to convey is that we should be just as mindful of people's experience as of privacy issues, which many many people don't care (or know) about. It's easy to assume everyone else cares about the things we do, but we're a small and funny group of people, we shouldn't forget that! cheers, -- Martin -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
