What kind of pressure do you think they should exert?
They worked with Debian for years, but ultimately Debian didn't quite agree with their vision for total software freedom.
- macrael 16y agoThey don't actually weild any power with which they could apply pressure, so its a bit of a moot point. I guess I was calling their purpose, as expressed by their completely ignored list, into question. I know people say that there is value in RMS being out there campaigining for our freedoms, but, again, with this list as evidence, it seems like no one takes him seriously. The distributions doing the most to bring free software to the public are censured by the FSF instead of being embraced. Obviously, this isn't entirely fair, and the FSF is very supportive to those popular distributions an supportive of your use of any free software. But this new list seems destined to be as useless as the first.
