If this is really true [1] and not an exaggeration, there is no way on Earth I will touch this or let anyone I care about touch it with a 100-foot pole. Closed source? Waive legal rights? to my own content? Not criticize China? Not in 100 million years. Glad I switched to 100% Ubuntu. Donated and anticipating 16.04 LTS in April. It's one thing to get pressured into a gray area w/r/t freedoms in exchange for some perceived benefit, but to explicitly waive them and endanger myself to a foreign power? Who knows what China would do? No way. How do these people even make a EULA with a straight face and expect people to drink it up? Even though Windows and OSX are closed-source, at least hackers have a grasp on what it's doing and you're not instantly giving up rights and ownership when you turn it on. This crosses my line in the sand. [1] I've been trying to find the EULA online somewhere, but can't so far. Any leads? I'm afraid to install this and look at the EULA. |

Try Trisquel if your hardware supports it.
