The free software search engine YaCy 1.0 was released and I propose to think whether we can make it as a default search engine for Trisquel. Now is DuckDuckGo, but this service runs not on completely free software.

I also think it's irrelevant, what software DuckDuckGo runs. It's their computing and their issue. Would be better for them to run free software, but I don't object even if they run Apache in Windows or whatever. The Internet is based on open standards, so the access to their service is not an issue, we will always be able to access and use DuckDuckGo as long as they exist, no matter what software they use.

My guess is, YaCy still will find a way into the repositories, maybe not as the default something, but as an option.
