The free software guidelines are first and foremost put up by the free software community by what is specified to be important to the values of free software. This needs to be addressed sooner than later, because the act of solidarity on the part of the community here is a tremendously crucial and singular event. I'd like to see the offerings of free software to grow, and include chromium if chromium has a reasonable method of liberation. But there is yet to be a complete audit to identify the problems. We can not rely solely on speculation, so lets get to the bottom of this once and for all. Brett Gilio
