Greetings,
I would like to inquire regarding digital-ocean-configuration type used for
provisioning DigitalOcean Droplets. I do not understand why it is acceptable to
have this type in the source code. Reading the Free GNU/Linux distributions
criteria[0] I see this sentence (emphasis mine):
> This means they will include, and *propose*, exclusively free software.
As far as I know DigitalOcean Droplets are not free software (please correct me
if I am wrong). I contemplated on this for a bit, and I do not understand why
it is acceptable.
Would someone be so kind to explain the reason to me?
Thank you and have a nice day,
Tomas Volf

There are only two hard things in Computer Science:
cache invalidation, naming things and off-by-one errors.
