actually, skype is in one ubuntu repository, which if I'm not mistaken
at least trisquel users could add

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype

3rd party repositories for other proprietary software are often
available and adding them usually requires just about the same level of
tech-expertise as adding non-free to debian (or to gNewSense).

actually, 'grandma' tends to be quite discriminatory and offensive,
considering that a woman can easily be of grandma age and still be an IT
professional (probably near retirement, but not necessarily).

so it is fine for anybody who is not a tech expert to be forced to buy a
mainstream spying device, while software freedom is just for people who
can afford spending their time jumping through hoops?
