- <h1>Dear Archive.org</h1>
- <pre>
- Your page, <<a href="https://web.archive.org/details/libreboot.org/github.php">https://web.archive.org/details/libreboot.org/github.php</a>>,
- says: "The Wayback Machine requires your browser to support
- JavaScript, please email info@archive.org if you have any questions
- about this."
- I love the Wayback Machine. So many people do. But, when you
- proprietary software, it makes many users lose trust in the Internet
- Archive.
- Could you make this site gracefully degrade, so it does not need
- JavaScript?
- If you cannot design the site to gracefully degrade, could you make
- sure that the JavaScript you send to me and other users is licensed
- under a free software license approved by both the Free Software
- Foundation and the Open Source Initiative?
- Please stop sending proprietary JavaScript code to my laptop as a
- precondition for your site to work. Just as you have control over
- your actions while interacting with me, so too should I have control
- over my actions while interacting with you.
- Either the programs control your actions, or your actions control the
- programs. With proprietary programs, the program has the last say:
- The program controls the user.
- Please make your JavaScript free/libre software.
