Absent is any mention of the Affero GPL.
And that's the problem. Who is trustworthy?
> "The priority of the board right now should be to restructure itself to ensure that it can legitimately claim to represent the community"
Who is this appeal to, and what is it for? Is it genuine or an attempt, in the current upheaval, to have the board restructured to make it less effective?
> "and play the leadership role it's been failing to in recent years"
Failed in what? In "Representing the community"? What community should be represented here? Is the timing accidental? What is being sold to whom, or who to what?
Meanwhile rms is looking for new accommodations[1]:
"There should not be ... a digital listening device such as Echo, Siri or "Hello Google", or a card lock that records who opens the door. I will ask about cameras."
If nothing else, rms is trustworthy when it comes to software freedom. I'm not so sure about any new pretenders.

- raverbashing 7y agoEthics evolve, and shouldn't be pinned to a person. BSD licensed software is fine as well, nobody would say it is unethical. In the same way the GPL3 came about due to external circumstances, other forms of licensing should be able to be considered free (like the AGPL or maybe others) with regards to the current landscape and circumstances.
- temac 7y agoEverybody who matters already consider AGPL a free software licence, and that's not even because of an hypothetical evolution of any position.
