Hello: I am a little confused here, since I read also the Ubuntu Marketing Mailing List. However it seems to me some people here want to restrict my freedom to use propriety software if I choose to do so. Personally I could care less about watching movies and listening to music on my computer, since I own a TV and a Stereo. But on of my clients wanted to know if he can play an MP3 on a Linux System. When I went of to the Fedora Machine in my office to play the MP3, it gave me the rant of about free software and then pointed me to the propriety codecs and I downloaded the on that didn't cost anything. That's the way it should work if you want people to use Linux over Windows. Skip the load of pseudo-political jive nobody gives a damn about and just make things to work. If people want to use propriety software, give them the freedom to do so with a minimum amount of hassle. There are "Totally" free Linux distros (e.g. gNewSense) and they don't work on a lot of hardware, these are not going to sell Linux to the masses. Remember Software Freedom includes the freedom to charge people money. Telling them they can't do something for any reason is not freedom, but then again this is a global list and I don't really know with whom I am speaking. Thank You Mike Cocoa Beach, Florida USA
