Site source code
Trisquel is free. But site is… not fully free. It is good, if I only didn't know about source code. But if site is proprietary, it is VERY BAD. We need to release source code of full site, expect current database (it will better if database will be contain records only for test, not users/pages/etc. databases). If source code already, please post link and close this topic.
=) i think it is free as in free of speech and it is VERY GOOD =D
You can find it here:
Packages? What about forum, main page, donation list?
I am not sure to understand what you mean by that.
I am not a developer so I don't know if something is missing.
Trisquel is a good Free Software Community that likes to share code.
If you found that something is missing, I suggest you to ask you for the code in a nice a polite way and I am pretty sure Trisquel developers will share it with you.
It isn't anyone's obligation to release software that they just run on their own computers.
Sweet Korean Jesus, here we go again.
Is this usual?
ALL software must be free. Including website. I can create full copy of some sites if I know the CMS.
Dude, very few webmasters release any of their custom server code. Why are you targeting trisquel.info specifically? There's pretty much no reason to, anyway; the only reason anyone would need it is to make a clone of the website, and why on Earth would a clone of trisquel.info be needed?
But even if he needs it, I am pretty sure, he can ask for the code and the maintainers will share it with him.
I have no idea what the problem is.

The four freedoms apply to released software.
This software has not been released. The fact that we are using it is incidental. For example:
I am a programmer and I've developed a program. I'm not ready to release it and I'm not sure if I will ever release it. Now, you visit me in my home and I let you try my program on my computer. You say, "you must give me the source code! I am using the program and you must give me a copy!! You must release the program to me!" I then say, "Get away from my computer and get out of my house you ungrateful so and so!"
We are using the software that runs this site, but the software runs on our friends computer, not our computer. It is neither free nor nonfree since it has never been released.
According to rms, and many people here, when it is something you cannot do in your own computer (given you had the greatest most powerful computer possible) then, unlike SaaS, it is not a problem to use.
Communication is not possible if you just use your own computer. We cannot communicate with each other on this forum, without someone running the software on a server--on their server. Let us be happy they lets us use their computer! It is not for us to force them to release programs running on their own computers. Anymore than I have a right to come to your house and insist that you give me copies of all the software on your computer!
It can be confusing, but hopefully that helps to clear it up :)

"I still think that the forums could be released."
Our previous posts are in agreement. It could be released by the one in possession of the software.
I need real site software license.
About source code:
For now, there are some bugs on the website. With source code, community can fix bugs and send patches. If source code is not available, community CANNOT fix bugs.
Why I need source code:
I want to test donation system. Of course, implement Bitcoin testnet or regtest and pay some coins.

There are already people in the community working on fixing bugs. If you are skilled and want to join them, I'm sure they would welcome you.
