"There are distros we decline to recommend that offer the user the option of "
"installing only free software.  Given that option, a user who values freedom "
"strongly enough, and thinks about the issue, can make those distros respect "
"per freedom."

"A distro that offers that option is clearly better than one that fails to "
"offer that option.  But that option does not make the distro ok to recommend "
"in general.  After all, most people in our community are not conscious of "
"this issue.  We cannot expect most of them to choose to reject nonfree "
"software just because the distro offers a way to do so.  And we don't want "
"to lead people to install nonfree software.  We've chosen our practices to "
"make that unlikely."

"Thus, our decision about recommending a distro depends on who we would "
"recommend it to.  For instance, it could be:"

"Specific committed free software supporters that we know will make an effort "
"to avoid nonfree software."

"We could recommend the distro privately to people in that first group if the "

"However, when it comes to recommending a distro to the general public, we "
"should insist (and we do insist) on an explicit commitment not to offer or "
"suggest any nonfree programs.  That way, we know our recommendation of that "
"distro won't lead the public to install any of those."

"What distros should an install fest recommend or install for the public? On "
"moral grounds, an install fest should not recommend or install nonfree "
"programs.  However, people will bring computers that need nonfree drivers or "
"firmware blobs in order to run at all&mdash;without those, they will go away "
"disappointed and consider GNU/Linux a failure."

"We thought of an idea for how to reconcile these two needs: the install fest "
"installs a free distro, then &ldquo;<a "
"href=\"/philosophy/install-fest-devil.html\">the devil</a>&rdquo; (a person "
"wearing a devil mask) offers to install the nonfree drivers or blobs that "
"machine needs."
