Freedom Issue #1457
[minitube] advertises non-free software in its GUI's "about" section
0%
Description
The "about" section contains an advertisement of the author's non-free software projects (Finetube and Musictube). Although you can download the binary packages, the author doesn't provide the source code (though it provides them for Minitube and Musique). The package is however a very convenient way to use YouTube without having to run the original non-free javascript application.

Hi! Thanks for your report. Do you think you can provide the freedom patch? It would be a matter of modifying the original source code from minitube to remove the mention to the unfree projects and post the patches here. If you ping me over IRC I guide you through it, but it would be awesome if it could be done by you (for your sake if you want to learn and for us since we're underhanded currently :)

Hi, I've tried your patch but it fails to build:
make: *** No rule to make target 'src/appwidget.cpp', needed by 'build/obj/appwidget.o'. Stop.
so i had to modify the patch and it's building now, i'll close this issue when it finishes
thanks for your help!
