A new TROMjaro ISO is out with an advanced search plus a wonderful little app that allows you to quickly extract text from photos or videos. See - forum.tromjaro.com/t/tromjaro-…

Unknown parent • •Hi,
You know I invited him to our TROMcast (we have a podcast - right now is on pause because I need to finish the TROM II documentary) and he almost accepted. We were about to settle for a day but he never got back to me....
His idea of what a "free software" is, can be different from what I would call "trade-free". For example, he would say that a piece of software needs to showcase its source code, to let anyone modify and re-distribute it, even sell if they want. But always inherit the same rules for the newly modified code.
Now in terms of software, I argue that the most important thing is to let people use a piece of software without asking anything in return. In that regards even proprietary software can be trade-free. However in the vast majority of cases if a software is trade-free it is unlikely to also be proprietary since there is no incentive for that.
In general the vast majority of software is trade-free and also free-software, so they overlap most of the time. I do not like the idea that you can sell a piece of free-software like Stallman says.

So I am not sure that he wants to see a world where we provide stuff as trade-free for people, but I wanted to talk to him about that.
Regardless, I love most of the things he talks about in regards to software, and I even included bits with him in the upcoming TROM II documentary. So for sure I will try to contact him again when we reboot our TROMcast.
In regards to TROMjaro it is not fully free-software since it also ships with Nvidia proprietary drivers for those who want them. And I am one of them since my computer won't work at all, or well, if I were not to use the proprietary Nvidia drivers....but these are small "incompatibilities" between the trade-free and free-software approaches.

in reply to Tio • • •Hi Tio!
Thanks for the prompt answer und your explanation! I am happy to hear that and also find it interesting, that there are some differences. I am still reading "Free as in free software". #GNU Very interesting guy and also shows an interesting view of the past.
I am looking forward to see #trom2 and like your ideas as well, read the first book of #trom and it gave me as well some ideas. Still trying to figure out how to adjust the knowledge that is offered Thank you for that!
