> how is [#GuixSD]

I haven't had the chance to run it myself, though I want to and will probably put it on a desktop whenever I get one.

> Is it pure free software?

Yep. It's even certified as a free disto by the #FSF https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.en.html

> there's nothing ethically wrong with "honest" proprietary software. The only problem is users usually don't know whether proprietary software is honest or not.

That's my view as well. But some (many?) #FreeSoftware advocates (e.g., #FSF) seem to feel that proprietary software is per se harmful. They point out that "proprietary software is *often* malware", but argue that non-malware proprietary software is still wrong.

And that last view is the one I don't quite understand.

Today is the #InternationalVolunteerDay and as a volunteer-based NGO the @fsfe@twitter.com is deeply grateful for the priceless contributions our #community dedicates their time and resources throughout the year to help us spread software freedom in Europe.

The #FSF updated their "License Compatibility and Relicensing" article recently. A great article for every software engineer who has to deal with various #FreeSoftware licenses. https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-compatibility.html
