It's just a snail mail of a single page once and for all. If it helps FSF and GNU, that's no big deal for me. I compiled the form and sent it to US from Turkey, and all it took me was about 5 Lira's and a walk to the post office.
- josteink 9y agoIt may be a small thing compared to other things, but relative to a PR on Github, it's a tectonic scale difference in workload. I know plenty of people who won't bother on plain principle, and that's both people and code which the FSF is missing out on. New times. New standards. Get with the program FSF.
- gkya 9y agoMissing out? I believe anybody who won't bother to compile and send the paperwork does not care enough to contribute good code anyways. There is a working, functional, and pleasing system for those who do actual work, why should a project like emacs (or any other open source project, really) chase the newest fad bargaining the layman's attention and his two lines of patch? What arrogance people show in trying to bend every project to their liking, and going as far as threathening to not do the contributions that they already aren't doing... Good god.
