I've been informed that it is at least *theoretically* possible to point snapd to a only free "store" https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/external-repositories/1760/7
This might help us not have to remove snapd and then patch and maintain all the software that depends on snap and snapd.

jonas.smedegaard closed T992: PureOS forum: the community helps users install non-free software as Invalid.

This issue is not about what is acceptable for people hired by or representing Purism to do.

francois added a comment to T992: PureOS forum: the community helps users install non-free software.

Although I agree that people at Purism shouldn't instruct how to install proprietary software, It would be difficult to forbid instructions or discussions about installing or upgrading Coreboot, which still contains blobs.

The problem tracked in this issue is that you can install non-free packages or add non-free repos - including skype and others.
Which packages can most easily be installed due to the default configuration of the tool is a subset of this general issue.

The problem is not that you can install non-free packages or add non-free repos. So can you in apt. The problem is that snap is using Snapcraft repository by default. Just try snap find skype, snap find clion or snap find spotify.

Please note that this issue is about whether or not a package in PureOS is violating policies defined by Debian and/or FSF.

LInux-Fan added a comment to T59: [FREEDOM ISSUE] geogebra.

I wanted to add to this issue that Geogebra is no longer updated in Debian due to the license, cf. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=692728. The problem is not only the documentation is licensed for non-commercial, but also the language files. As a result, it seems impossible to me to have a package with the free parts only, because such a version would not include any strings and hence be unusable?
