GNU refuses to let go of libreboot
- ocdtrekkie 10y agoThis whole thing explains why things like trademark law exists: It codifies who "owns" a thing, and who is merely a derivative of it. If someone owned the libreboot trademark, there could not exist a state where GNU claims it owns libreboot, and Leah claims she owns libreboot. It would simply be whoever owned it, and then the other party would be free to fork.
- tree_of_item 10y agoWhy would they "let go" of libreboot over this sort of behavior?
- smegel 10y ago> All of the people who responded on the GNU Prog discuss mailing list are cisgendered men Ye gad, get rid of her, sooner the better. Fork it and name it librestart if necessary.

- devnonymous 10y agoThis is not a link to the dupe. The submission is about the blog post and this linked url and the discussion is about the project.
- c3534l 10y agoYou know you're in for a perfectly rational discussion when someone uses the phrase "cis gendered white men" to discredit them.
- meira 10y agoThanks, GNU.
- ciswhiteboy 10y agoAnd here i always had relativley decent views of GNU/FSF but their douchey white boy shit has outgrown it’s place. Perhaps GNU/FSF needs new administration!
