Less than 1% non-Free

Joining in… Planet Ubuntu Virtual Richard M. Stallman meme.


My iBook laptop when using Ubuntu Jaunty.

onkar@iBook:~$ vrms
Non-free packages installed on iBook

linux-powerpc Complete Linux kernel on PowerPC.
tangerine-icon-theme Tangerine Icon theme

Contrib packages installed on iBook

b43-fwcutter Utility for extracting Broadcom 43xx firmware

2 non-free packages, 0.1% of 1389 installed packages.
1 contrib packages, 0.1% of 1389 installed packages.

Correctness:
1. I am not sure why linux-powerpc is being considered non-Free. I will have to discuss with powerpc team in Ubuntu.
2. As already pointed out at several places tangerine-icon-theme actually uses CC-BY-SA license and is wrongly identified as non-Free.


Same laptop with Debian testing.

onkar@iBook:~$ vrms

No non-free or contrib packages installed on iBook! rms would be proud.

Correctness:
1. I am using non-Free firmware for bcm4306 wireless chipset. But I didn't install b43-fwcutter to download/extract firmware. Instead I simply copied the firmware files from Ubuntu to Debian.
