+href="/gnu/initial-announcement.html">27. rujna 1983., najavio sam plan</a>
+da stvorim potpuno slobodan operativni sustav zvan GNU&mdash;za &lsquo;GNU
+Nije Unix&rsquo;. Kao dio 25. godišnjice GNU sustava, napisao sam ovaj
+članak o načinu na koji naša zajednica može izbjeći pogubne
+kompromise. Dodatno sa izbjegavanjem takvih kompromisa, postoje mnogi načini
+na koje možete <a href="/help/">pomoći GNU</a> i slobodnom softveru. Jedan
+osnovan način je da se <a
+href="https://www.fsf.org/associate/support_freedom/join_fsf?referrer=4052";>pridružite
+Zakladi za slobodan softver</a> kao vanredan
+član.&rdquo;</em>&mdash;<b>Richard Stallman</b></p></div>
+
+<p><strong>Richard Stallman</strong></p>
+
+<p>Pokret slobodnog softvera cilja na društvenu promjenu: <a
+href="/philosophy/free-sw.html">napraviti sav softver slobodnim</a> tako da
+svi korisnici softvera budu slobodni i da mogu biti dio zajednice temeljene
+na suradnji. Svaki neslobodni program daje svome developeru nepravednu moć
+nad korisnicima. Naš cilj je zaustaviti tu nepravdu.</p>
+
+<p>Put do slobode je <a
+href="http://www.fsf.org/bulletin/2008/spring/the-last-mile-is-always-the-hardest/";>dugi
+put</a>. Biti će potrebno mnogo koraka i mnogo godina da se dostigne svijet
+u kojem je normalno da korisnici softvera imaju slobodu. Neki od tih koraka
+su teški, i zahtijevaju žrtvovanje. Neki od njih postaju lakšima ako radimo
+kompromise sa ljudima koji imaju drugačije ciljeve.</p>
+
+<p>Dakle, <a href="http://www.fsf.org/";>Zaklada za slobodan softver</a> radi
+kompromise&mdash;čak i one velike. Na primjer, napravili smo kompromise u
+patentnim odredbama inačice 3 <a href="/licenses/gpl.html">GNU opće javne
+licence</a> (GNU GPL) tako da bi velike kompanije pridonijele i
+distribuirale softver pod GPLv3 i time dovele neke od patenata pod efekt tih
+odredbi.  </p>
+
+<img src="/graphics/gplv3-large.png" alt="" style="float: left;" />
+
+<p>Svrha <a href="/licenses/lgpl.html">nižeg GPL-a</a> je kompromis: koristimo
+tu licencu na određenim izabranim slobodnim bibliotekama da bi dozvolili
+njihovo korištenje u neslobodnim programima zato jer mislimo da bi zakonska
+zabrana toga samo otjerala developere prema vlasničkim (<i>proprietary</i>)
+bibliotekama. Prihvaćamo i instaliramo kod u GNU programe da bi radili
+zajedno s čestim neslobodnim programima, i dokumentiramo i objavljujemo to
+na način koji ohrabruje korisnike potonjih da instaliraju prijašnje, ali ne
+obrnuto. Podržavamo određene kampanje s kojima se slažemo, čak i kada se u
+potpunosti ne slažemo s grupama iza njih.</p>
+
+<p>Ali odbijamo određene kompromise iako su ih mnogi drugi u našoj zajednici
+voljni napraviti. Na primjer, <a
+href="/philosophy/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html">odobravamo samo
+GNU/Linux distribucije</a> koje imaju politiku da ne uključuju neslobodni
+softver i da ne navode korisnike da ga instaliraju. Odobravanje neslobodnih
+distribucija bi bio poguban <i><acronym title="ruinous
+(r&#363;'&#601;-n&#601;s) pridjev 1. Koji uzrokuje ili pogoduje propasti;
+destruktivan.  2. Koji pada u propast; razoren ili
+istrunuo.">ruinous</acronym></i> kompromis.</p>
+
+<p>Kompromisi su pogubni ako bi na duge staze radili protiv naših ciljeva. To
+se može dogoditi ili na razini ideja ili na razini djelovanja. </p>
+
+<p>Na razini ideja, pogubni kompromisi su oni koji pojačavaju premise koje
+želimo promijeniti. Naš cilj je svijet u kojem su korisnici softvera
+slobodni, ali do sada, većina korisnika računala čak i ne prepoznaju slobodu
+kao pitanje. Oni su prihvatili &ldquo;potrošačke&rdquo; vrijednosti, što
+znači da prosuđuju neki program samo praktičnim karakteristikama kao što su
+cijena i pogodnost.</p>
+
+<p>Klasična knjiga samo-pomoći, čiji autor je Dale Carnegie: <cite>Kako
+pridobiti prijatelje i utjecati na ljude</cite>, savjetuje da je
+najefektniji način da uvjerite nekoga da napravi nešto je da prezentirate
+argumente koji odgovaraju njegovim ili njezinim vrijednostima. Postoje
+načini na koje možemo vršiti priziv na potrošačke vrijednosti tipične u
+našem društvu. Na primjer, slobodan softver dobiven besplatno može 
uštedjeti
+novac korisniku. Mnogi slobodni programi su isto tako prikladni i
+pouzdani. Navođenje tih praktičnih koristi je bilo uspješno u uvjeravanju
+mnogih korisnika da prihvate razne slobodne programe, neko od kojih su sada
+vrlo uspješni.</p>
+
+<p>Ako je navođenje većeg broja ljudi na korištenje nekih slobodnih programa
+vaš doseg i cilj, možete se odlučiti na šutnju o konceptu slobode, i
+fokusirati se samo na praktične vrijednosti koje imaju smisla u terminima
+potrošačkih vrijednosti. To je ono što termin &ldquo;otvoreni izvorni
+kod&rdquo; i njegova asocirana retorika rade.</p>
+
+<p>Taj pristup nas može provesti samo dijelom puta do cilja slobode. Ljudi 
koji
+koriste slobodan softver samo zato jer je pogodan će ga se držati samo
+utoliko dok je pogodan. I neće vidjeti razlog da ne koriste pogodne
+vlasničke programe uz njega.</p>
+
+<p>Filozofija otvorenog izvornog koda pretpostavlja i radi priziv na 
potrošačke
+vrijednosti, i to ih potvrđuje i pojačava. Zato mi <a
+href="/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html">ne podržavamo otvoreni
+izvorni kod.</a></p>
+
+<img src="/graphics/gnulaptop.png" alt="" style="float: right;" />
+
+<p>Da bi se osnovala slobodna zajednica potpuno i trajno, moramo napraviti 
više
+od navođenja ljudi da koriste neki slobodan softver. Moramo raširiti ideju
+prosuđivanja softvera (i drugih stvari) temeljem &ldquo;građanskih
+vrijednosti&rdquo;, bazirano na tome da li softver poštuje korisničke
+slobode i zajednicu, ne samo u terminima pogodnosti. Tada ljudi neće pasti u
+zamku vlasničkoga programa namamljeni privlačnom, pogodnom značajkom.</p>
+
+<p>Da bi se promovirale građanske vrijednosti, moramo govoriti o njima i
+pokazati kako su baza sa naše djelovanje. Moramo odbiti kompromis Dalea
+Carnegiea koji bi utjecao na njihova djela odobravajući njihove potrošačke
+vrijednosti.</p>
+
+<p>To ne znači da ne možemo uopće navoditi praktične 
prednosti&mdash;možemo i
+radimo to. Problem se pojavi samo kada praktična prednost stane u prvi plan
+i gurne slobodu u pozadinu. Dakle, kada navodimo praktične prednosti
+slobodnog softvera, često ponavljamo da su to samo <em>dodatni,
+sekundarni</em> razlozi da se slobodan softver preferira. </p>
+
+<p>Nije dovoljno da se naše riječi slažu s našim idealima; naše 
djelovanje se
+mora isto tako slagati s njima. Prema tome moramo također izbjegavati
+kompromise koji uključuju radnje ili legitimiziranje stvari koje ciljamo
+suzbiti. </p>
+
+<p>Na primjer, iskustvo pokazuje da možete privući neke korisnike da koriste 
<a
+href="/gnu/why-gnu-linux.html">GNU/Linux</a> ako uključite neke neslobodne
+programe. To može značiti neku slatku neslobodnu aplikaciju koja će uhvatiti
+pažnju nekog korisnika, ili neslobodnu platformu za programiranje kao što je
+<a href="/philosophy/java-trap.html">Java</a> (ranije) ili softver za
+izvođenje (<i>runtime</i>) Flash aplikacija (još uvijek), ili neslobodni
+upravljački program koji omogućuje podršku za određene hardverske modele. 
</p>
+
+<p>Ti kompromisi su iskušenje, ali potkopavaju cilj. Ako distribuirate
+neslobodni softver, ili navodite ljude prema njemu, biti će vam teško reći:
+&ldquo;Neslobodni softver je nepravda, društveni problem i moramo ga
+privesti kraju.&rdquo; Čak iako i nastavite govoriti te riječi, vaše
+djelovanje će ih potkopati. </p>
+
+<p>Problem ovdje nije da li bi ljudi trebali biti <em>u mogućnosti</em> ili
+<em>imati dopuštenje</em> instalirati neslobodni softver; sustav generalne
+svrhe omogućuje i dopušta korisnicima da rade što žele. Problem je da li
+vodimo korisnike prema neslobodnom softveru. Å to oni rade sami po sebi je
+njihova odgovornost; što mi radimo za njih i prema čemu ih usmjerujemo, je
+naša. Ne smijemo usmjeravati korisnike prema vlasničkom softveru kao da je
+vlasnički softver rješenje, jer vlasnički softver je problem. </p>
+
+<p>Pogubni kompromis nije samo loš utjecaj na druge. Može isto tako i 
iskriviti
+vaše vlastite vrijednosti, kroz kognitivnu disonancu. Ako imate određene
+vrijednosti, ali vaša djela impliciraju neke druge vrijednosti koje su
+suprotne, izvjesno je da ćete promijeniti vaše vrijednosti ili vaša djela da
+biste razriješili proturječje. Dakle, projekti koji argumentiraju samo iz
+praktičnih prednosti, ili usmjeravaju ljude prema neslobodnom softveru,
+skoro uvijek se posramljuju od <em>predlaganja</em> da je neslobodni softver
+ne-etičan. Za njegove sudionike, kao i za javnost, on pojačava potrošačke
+vrijednosti. Moramo odbiti te kompromise ako želimo držati naše vrijednosti
+ispravnima. </p>
+
+<p>Ako želite prijeći na korištenje slobodnog softvera bez kompromitiranja
+cilja slobode, pogledajte <a href="http://www.fsf.org/resources";>FSF dio o
+resursima</a>. Tamo su popisane hardverske i strojne konfiguracije koje rade
+sa slobodnim softverom, <a href="/distros">potpuno slobodne GNU/Linux
+distribucije</a> za instalaciju, i tisuće paketa slobodnog softvera koji
+rade u sto-postotnom okruženju slobodnog softvera. Ako želite pomoći da
+zajednica ostane na putu do slobode, jedan važan način je da javno
+podržavate građanske vrijednosti. Kada ljudi raspravljaju o tome što je
+dobro, a što loše, ili što napraviti, navodite vrijednosti slobode i
+zajednice i argumentirajte iz tih vrijednosti. </p>
+
+<p>Put koji vam dopušta da idete brže nije poboljšanje ako vodi na krivo
+mjesto. Kompromis je esencijalni za postizanje ambicioznog cilja, ali
+čuvajte se kompromisa koji vode dalje od cilja. </p>

+ago <a href="/gnu/initial-announcement.html">on September 27, 1983, I
+announced a plan</a> to create a completely free operating system
+called GNU&mdash;for &lsquo;GNU's Not Unix&rsquo;.  As part of the
+25th anniversary of the GNU system, I have written this article on how
+our community can avoid ruinous compromises.  In addition to avoiding
+such compromises, there are many ways you can <a href="/help/">help
+GNU</a> and free software.  One basic way is
+to <a 
href="https://www.fsf.org/associate/support_freedom/join_fsf?referrer=4052";>
+join the Free Software Foundation</a> as an Associate
+Member.&rdquo;</em>&mdash;<b>Richard Stallman</b></p></div>
+
+<p>by <strong>Richard Stallman</strong></p>
+
+<p>The free software movement aims for a social
+change: <a href="/philosophy/free-sw.html">to make all software
+free</a> so that all software users are free and can be part of a
+community of cooperation.  Every nonfree program gives its developer
+unjust power over the users.  Our goal is to put an end to that
+injustice.</p>
+
+<p>The road to freedom
+is <a 
href="http://www.fsf.org/bulletin/2008/spring/the-last-mile-is-always-the-hardest/";>
+a long road</a>.  It will take many steps and many years to reach a
+world in which it is normal for software users to have freedom.  Some
+of these steps are hard, and require sacrifice.  Some of them become easier
+if we make compromises with people that have different goals.</p>
+
+<p>Thus, the <a href="http://www.fsf.org/";>Free Software
+Foundation</a> makes compromises&mdash;even major ones.  For
+instance, we made compromises in the patent provisions of version 3 of
+the <a href="/licenses/gpl.html">GNU General Public License</a> (GNU GPL) so
+that major companies would contribute to and distribute GPLv3-covered
+software and thus bring some patents under the effect of these
+provisions.  </p>

+<p><a href="/licenses/lgpl.html">The Lesser GPL</a>'s purpose is a
+compromise: we use it on certain chosen free libraries to permit their
+use in nonfree programs because we think that legally prohibiting
+this would only drive developers to proprietary libraries instead.  We
+accept and install code in GNU programs to make them work together
+with common nonfree programs, and we document and publicize this in
+ways that encourage users of the latter to install the former, but not
+vice versa.  We support specific campaigns we agree with, even when we
+don't fully agree with the groups behind them.</p>
+
+<p>But we reject certain compromises even though many others in our
+community are willing to make them.  For instance,
+we <a href="/philosophy/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html">
+endorse only the GNU/Linux distributions</a> that have policies not to
+include nonfree software or lead users to install it.  To endorse
+nonfree distributions would be a <acronym title="ruinous
+(r&#363;'&#601;-n&#601;s) adj. 1. Causing or apt to cause ruin;
+destructive.  2. Falling to ruin; dilapidated or
+decayed.">ruinous</acronym> compromise.</p>
+
+<p>Compromises are ruinous if they would work against our aims in the
+long term.  That can occur either at the level of ideas or at the level of
+actions.</p>
+
+<p>At the level of ideas, ruinous compromises are those that reinforce
+the premises we seek to change.  Our goal is a world in which software
+users are free, but as yet most computer users do not even recognize
+freedom as an issue.  They have taken up &ldquo;consumer&rdquo;
+values, which means they judge any program only on practical characteristics
+such as price and convenience.</p>
+
+<p>Dale Carnegie's classic self-help book, <cite>How to Win Friends and
+Influence People</cite>, advises that the most effective way to
+persuade someone to do something is to present arguments that appeal
+to his values.  There are ways we can appeal to the consumer values
+typical in our society.  For instance, free software obtained gratis
+can save the user money.  Many free programs are convenient and
+reliable, too.  Citing those practical benefits has succeeded in
+persuading many users to adopt various free programs, some of which
+are now quite successful.</p>
+
+<p>If getting more people to use some free programs is as far as you
+aim to go, you might decide to keep quiet about the concept of
+freedom, and focus only on the practical advantages that make sense
+in terms of consumer values.  That's what the term &ldquo;open
+source&rdquo; and its associated rhetoric do.</p>
+
+<p>That approach can get us only part way to the goal of freedom.  People
+who use free software only because it is convenient will stick with it
+only as long as it is convenient.  And they will see no reason not to
+use convenient proprietary programs along with it.</p>
+
+<p>The philosophy of open source presupposes and appeals to consumer
+values, and this affirms and reinforces them.  That's why we
+<a href="/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html">do not support
+open source.</a></p>
+
+<img src="/graphics/gnulaptop.png" alt="" style="float: right;" />
+
+<p>To establish a free community fully and lastingly, we need to do
+more than get people to use some free software.  We need to spread the
+idea of judging software (and other things) on &ldquo;citizen
+values&rdquo;, based on whether it respects users' freedom and
+community, not just in terms of convenience.  Then people will not
+fall into the trap of a proprietary program baited by an attractive,
+convenient feature.</p>
+
+<p>To promote citizen values, we have to talk about them and show how
+they are the basis of our actions.  We must reject the Dale Carnegie
+compromise that would influence their actions by endorsing their
+consumer values.</p>
+
+<p>This is not to say we cannot cite practical advantage at all&mdash;we can
+and we do.  It becomes a problem only when the practical advantage steals
+the scene and pushes freedom into the background.  Therefore,
+when we cite the practical advantages of free software, we reiterate
+frequently that those are just <em>additional, secondary</em> reasons
+to prefer it.</p>
+
+<p>It's not enough to make our words accord with our ideals; our
+actions have to accord with them too.  So we must also avoid
+compromises that involve doing or legitimizing the things we aim to
+stamp out.</p>
+
+<p>For instance, experience shows that you can attract some users to
+<a href="/gnu/why-gnu-linux.html">GNU/Linux</a> if you include some
+nonfree programs.  This could mean a cute nonfree application that
+will catch some user's eye, or a nonfree programming platform such
+as <a href="/philosophy/java-trap.html">Java</a> (formerly) or the
+Flash runtime (still), or a nonfree device driver that enables
+support for certain hardware models.</p>
+
+<p>These compromises are tempting, but they undermine the goal.  If
+you distribute nonfree software, or steer people towards it, you will
+find it hard to say, &ldquo;Nonfree software is an injustice, a
+social problem, and we must put an end to it.&rdquo; And even if you
+do continue to say those words, your actions will undermine them.</p>
+
+<p>The issue here is not whether people should be <em>able</em>
+or <em>allowed</em> to install nonfree software; a general-purpose
+system enables and allows users to do whatever they wish.  The issue
+is whether we guide users towards nonfree software.  What they do on
+their own is their responsibility; what we do for them, and what we
+direct them towards, is ours.  We must not direct the
+users towards proprietary software as if it were a solution, because
+proprietary software is the problem.</p>
+
+<p>A ruinous compromise is not just a bad influence on others.  It can
+distort your own values, too, through cognitive dissonance.  If you
+have certain values, but your actions imply other, conflicting values,
+you are likely to change your values or your actions so as to resolve the
+contradiction.  Thus, projects that argue only from practical
+advantages, or direct people toward some nonfree software, nearly
+always shy away from even <em>suggesting</em> that nonfree software
+is unethical.  For their participants, as well as for the public, they
+reinforce consumer values.  We must reject these compromises if we wish
+to keep our values straight.</p>
+
+<p>If you want to move to free software without compromising the goal
+of freedom, look at <a href="http://www.fsf.org/resources";>the FSF's
+resources area</a>.  It lists hardware and machine configurations that
+work with free software, <a href="/distros"> totally free GNU/Linux
+distros</a> to install, and thousands of free software packages that
+work in a 100 percent free software environment.  If you want to help the
+community stay on the road to freedom, one important way is to
+publicly uphold citizen values.  When people are discussing what is
+good or bad, or what to do, cite the values of freedom and community
+and argue from them.</p>
+
+<p>A road that lets you go faster is no improvement if it leads to the
+wrong place.  Compromise is essential to achieve an ambitious goal,
+but beware of compromises that lead away from the goal.</p>
