I fully agree. Usability has to triumph over ideology. Adhering to the FSF guidelines will needlessly shackle the distro into ideological issues. Something we can do without.

Maybe we need to come out with a charter, manifesto of some sorts that defines the target of the distro. I have noticed many questioning the existence of Mageia...considering the plethora of options available...like Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian etc. Fedora has the the bleeding edge, Ubuntu has the refined and polished look while Debian has its ideological purity of DFSG.

Please NO! I have watched this ruin other Linux distributions when it comes to usability. Let's look at it from a community stand point and not some hippies agenda. Thanks.
