is it correct?

Correct!!!

[vasa1]

i was curious whether install non-free software on linux in this site is prohibited?
such as installing office with wine
if we summarized in one word: is not prohibited
is it correct?

thanks for the clarification

So long as you don't ask for or post advice about installing pirated software or circumventing license requirements, etc.

Why don't you just come out with your actual questions? If there's anything objectionable we will let you know.

Because the an other ubuntu site remove posts related to non-free software
even clean up any training
i ask whay do that they said because this link:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-...important.html
but they said we're trying to follow the official ubuntu site

this is the reason i ask this site

I will say this again: We are not associated with other Ubuntu or Linux help forums. What they do or do not do/allow has no bearing here.

Richard M Stallman does not direct the activities of the Ubuntu Forums. There is no reason at all to worry about what RMS says. "Non-Free Software" is not a concern here, unless it is illegal or suggests illegal activity. There is, in fact, no reason to worry about every little thing Mark Shuttleworth has to say. If you would like to say Mark has made some serious mistakes and you do so politely and thoughtfully, you may go ahead and do so. I do.

So long as you follow the Ubuntu Forums Rules, your question will be considered valid. If it is found to be in conflict with those rules, we will remove it from public view and inform you why. Sometimes the problem is not the question asked, but the manner or language used. We expect people to be polite and use family-friendly language.

And I have to ask again: What "official Ubuntu site"?
