I'm actually happy that the FSF has considered this one:
- Free phone operating system
They don't have the for-profit nature of both Mozilla and Canonical and perhaps supporting the FSF over either of those 2 (Mozillas failed FFOS and no availability of the UbuntuOS mobile devices) will ensure a stable OS that isn't Google-ware.
PS. I know Mozilla isn't for-profit, but they abandoned FFOS just like a for-profit would
- icebraining 10y agoThe only organizations that don't abandon projects are the ones that never took them on to begin with (or the ones designed around a specific project). It's not a for-profit vs non-profit distinction. In this case, unfortunately, being in the high priority list of the FSF doesn't mean much. It's a list of stuff they'd like to see being developed, not actually a list of projects being actively supported with funding or developers' time.
