+"Install fests invite users to bring their computers so that experts can "
+"install GNU/Linux on them.  This is meant to promote the idea of free "
+"software as well as the use of free software.  In practice, these two goals "
+"conflict: users that want to reject nonfree software entirely need to choose "
+"their computers carefully to achieve that goal."
+msgstr ""
+
+#. type: Content of: <p>
+msgid ""
+"The problem is that most computers can't run with a completely free "
+"GNU/Linux distro.  They contain peripherals, or coprocessors, that won't "
+"operate unless the installed system contains some nonfree drivers or "
+"firmware.  This happens because hardware manufacturers refuse to tell us how "
+"to use their products, so that the only way to figure out how is by reverse "
+"engineering, which in most cases has not yet been done."

+msgid ""
+"This presents the install fest with a dilemma.  If it upholds the ideals of "
+"freedom, by installing only free software from <a "
+"href=\"/distros/distros.html\">100%-free distros</a>, partly-secret machines "
+"won't become entirely functional and the users that bring them will go away "
+"disappointed.  However, if the install fest installs nonfree distros and "
+"nonfree software which make machines entirely function, it will fail to "
+"teach users to say no for freedom's sake.  They may learn to like GNU/Linux, "
+"but they won't learn what the free software movement stands for.  In effect, "
+"the install fest makes a tacit deal with the devil that suppresses <a "
+"href=\"/philosophy/free-software-even-more-important.html\">the free "
+"software movement's message about freedom and justice</a>."
+msgstr ""
+
+#. type: Content of: <p>
+msgid ""
+"The nonfree software means the user sacrifices freedom for functionality.  "
+"If users had to wrestle with this choice, they could draw a moral lesson "
+"from it, and maybe get a better computer later.  But when the install fest "
+"makes the compromise on the user's behalf, it shelters the user from the "
+"moral dimension; the user never sees that something other than convenience "
+"is at stake.  In effect, the install fest makes the deal with the devil, on "
+"the user's behalf, behind a curtain so the user doesn't recognize that it is "
+"one."
+msgstr ""

+#. type: Content of: <p>
+msgid ""
+"I propose that the install fest show users exactly what deal they are "
+"making.  Let them talk with the devil individually, learn the deal's bad "
+"implications, then make a deal&mdash;or refuse!"
+msgstr ""
+
+#. type: Content of: <p>
+msgid ""
+"As always, I call on the install fest itself to install only free software, "
+"taking a strict stance.  In this way it can set a clear moral example of "
+"rejecting nonfree software."

+"My new idea is that the install fest could allow the devil to hang around, "
+"off in a corner of the hall, or the next room.  (Actually, a human being "
+"wearing sign saying &ldquo;The Devil,&rdquo; and maybe a toy mask or horns.)  
"
+"The devil would offer to install nonfree drivers in the user's machine to "
+"make more parts of the computer function, explaining to the user that the "
+"cost of this is using a nonfree (unjust) program."
+msgstr ""
+
+#. type: Content of: <p>
+msgid ""
+"The install fest would tolerate the devil's presence but not officially "
+"sponsor the devil, or publicize the devil's availability.  Therefore, the "
+"users who accept the devil's deal would clearly see that the devil installed "
+"the nonfree drivers, not the install fest.  The install fest would not be "
+"morally compromised by the devil's actions, so it could retain full moral "
+"authority when it talks about the imperative for freedom."
+msgstr ""
+
+#. type: Content of: <p>
+msgid ""
+"Those users that get nonfree drivers would see what their moral cost is, and "
+"that there are people in the community who refuse to pay that cost.  They "
+"would have the chance to reflect afterwards on the situation that their "
+"flawed computers have put them in, and about how to change that situation, "
+"in the small and in the large."
+msgstr ""
+
+#. type: Content of: <p>
+msgid ""
+"The install fest should offer advice to users that would like to replace "
+"some of the machine's components with alternatives that do support free "
+"software, and recommend commercial and noncommercial sources of assistance "
+"including fsf.org/resources/hw for getting a computer that works fully "
+"without nonfree drivers and blobs."
+msgstr ""
+
+#. type: Content of: <p>

+"It should also suggest to these users that they send letters of criticism to "
+"the companies that make or sell the components that depend on nonfree "
+"software to function."

+msgid ""
+"The install-fest devil has nothing to do with the cute BSD demon, and the "
+"install fest should make that very clear.  This issue concerns the "
+"difference between various GNU/Linux distros, and is not about BSD.  Indeed, "
+"the same approach could be used for installation of BSD."
+msgstr ""

+#. type: Content of: <p>
+msgid ""
+"This devil would be a human being disguised to teach a moral lesson with a "
+"theatrical metaphor, so let's not take the metaphor too far.  I think we "
+"would do well not to say that users are &ldquo;selling their souls&rdquo; if "
+"they install nonfree software&mdash;rather, part of their own freedom is "
+"what they forfeit.  We don't need to exaggerate to teach the point that "
+"trading your freedom for convenience (and leading others to do the same) is "
+"<a href=\"https://www.fsfla.org/circular/2007-02.en.html#1\";> putting "
+"yourself in a moral jam</a>."

+"The devil's work would be something I don't approve of&mdash;installing "
+"nonfree software&mdash;so I will not get involved in discussing the "
+"practical details.  But it is hard to trust a devil to do wrong only within "
+"certain limits.  What is to stop the devil from offering to install a "
+"GNU/Linux distro such as Ubuntu, which offers the user other attractive "
+"nonfree programs, not solely the ones needed for the machine's hardware to "
+"function at all? Or even offering to install Windows? The people who run the "
+"install fest should ask some users what the devil did to their computers."
+msgstr ""

+#. type: Content of: <p>
+msgid ""
+"Isn't it morally better if the install fest doesn't allow the devil? "
+"Certainly! The FSF will not let a devil hang around its events.  But given "
+"the fact that most install fests quietly play the role of the devil, I think "
+"that an explicit devil would be less bad.  It would convert the install-fest "
+"dilemma from a debilitating contradiction into a teaching experience.  Users "
+"would be able to get, if they insist, the nonfree drivers to make their "
+"peripherals run, then use GNU/Linux knowing that there is a further step "
+"toward freedom that they should take."
