I'm sorry but you are missing a huge part of what GNU is about. It is explicitly about "meatspace politics" and the philosophies of Richard Stallman. Explicitly you seem to be confusing "open source software" with "free software":

- reflexive 10y agoI'm sorry but you are missing a huge part of what GNU is about. No, I don't think I am. GNU supports building businesses on free software. That's why the GPL does not say "free for noncommercial use only" like many other licenses. It's meant to be sustainable. Using iconography that says "businesses are bad, uprisings in the street are good" is counter to the GNU mission.
