Understandable. My line of thought was that free software could, in some places where it's not big yet, win in the long term if the FSF stopped judging devs/makers of non-free software. (And instead maybe acknowledged that it's hard to develop free software in that field under the current circumstances to raise awareness.)
- tombert 7y agoIn a bit of fairness, I actually emailed Stallman about this a couple years ago and he's a bit more nuanced if you press him on individual things. For example, I asked him about an app that I was working on, where we were doing things with a BSD license (since the thing we released was proprietary but the core was open-source), and he suggested that we instead re-license it as GPL but with an proprietary exception for only our app.
