One guess might be that the forward for the third edition was provided by Jacob Appelbaum, who turned out to be not such a cool guy.
I’m glad the version with the Lessig forward was posted (though I should probably read the new essays, too).
- acehw 8y agoIdk. Maybe make a 3.001 or something like that with a different forward? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- M_Bakhtiari 8y agoOr maybe a backward.

- thecatspaw 8y ago> who turned out to be not such a cool guy all I could find was allegations of sexual assault which could not be proven? Or was that comment about something else?
- sincerely 8y agoWithout talking about this specific case (I've never heard of that guy) sexual assault is basically impossible to "prove" without clear video recordings. :/
- adrianN 8y agoSo guilty until proven innocent?
- 794CD01 8y agoIt's better than "never guilty because proof is impossible".
- midasz 8y agoI don't want to get involved in this, but none of his 'victims' have ever reported it to any authorities. It's basically a social media smear campaign. They even registered a website under his name with fanfic stories.
- jessaustin 8y agoRMS should be the focus here. If the forward-writer is the focus, for whatever reason, it's not a good forward.
- lolikoisuru 8y ago> who turned out to be not such a cool guy. Only if you believe anonymous smear campaigns. None of the alleged victims ever made any effort to start a proper investigation and one of the claimed victims (some of the stories were written by people who thought they witnessed something) came forward saying that she was in fact not a victim and that the allegations were all bullcrap.
