GNU ease.js provides a set of unmatched and desirable features under a
copyleft license, which encourages developers to release their own code under
a compatible free software license. But not everyone may understand why this
decision&mdash;and the urging of free (as in freedom) JavaScript&mdash;are so
fundamentally vital to the future of a free and cooperative Internet that is
accessible to <em>everyone</em>, regardless of whether they exclusively use
free software.

without your knowledge---the simple act of visiting a web page may install
and execute a non-free program within your web browser.
