[Fsf-friends] Freedom matters - So does good software !!

[Tarun Gaur]

Hi Anurag,

I totally agree with you that free software can be made easy to use. I am 
infact not in favor of writing any software that is a nightmare to work 
with. That is the reason i initiated this debate by forwarding a mail from 
an end user to the list.

Does RMS ever say that Free software should not be designed to be easy to 
use? i doubt.

Infact we all know that Freedom matters, Free Free Free ... Lets get over 
with the basics and get our heads down to write good FREE software. We have 
the Freedom and we promote it too.
.. And the world has heard us loud and clear.

They say the DEVIL LIES IN THE DETAILS ... So its useless to talk about 
freedom and free software without backing it up with good software. We have 
come this far with good work. Lets just keep on doing the good work and not 
pay a deaf ear to end user's perspective.

hail the spirit of FSF
regards,
tarun
