Did you notice this update/footnote

'RMS provided us with this update on GNU/LinEx: /The developers told me 
that GNU/LinEx included only free software, but after this interview was 
published various people have checked it and found non-free programs in 
it. I therefore cannot recommend GNU/LinEx at present. I hope that this 
problem will be corrected./'

Feel a bit sorry for the visionary who is still waiting for the day the 
complete free (and stable) system with an attitude against non free 
software arrives?
