Cyanogenmod free software

[Mitchell]

I agree with Aaron's last comment... Cyanogenmod is a massive community. 
I doubt many developers were involved in that discussion thread. Then 
again, you never know....

I still support cyanogenmod, and am happy to use the rom. Whether or not 
many other people see eye-to-eye with myself about using google apps is 
kindof beside the point.... at least with cyanogenmod it is possible to 
not install google apps. I still love the idea of an entirely free 
software stack... but appreciate the pragmatism of the Cyanogenmod rom.
