Stallman warned all of us. No one wanted to listen.
- zelphirkalt 7y agoIt's sometimes incredible how far-sighted some of his talk is. Unfortunately most people only ever learn after the fact.
- coleifer 7y agoYes, and the trend towards codes of conduct and ethical licenses are producing projects ripe for this sort of hijacking.

- djsumdog 7y agoI had to look that up. ESR is Eric Steven Raymond.
- catalogia 7y agoBoth ESR and RMS have warned against such "ethical" licenses. https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/programs-must-not-limit-freedom-to-run.html https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/programs-must-not-limit-freed... Bruce Perens has as well: https://perens.com/2019/10/12/invasion-of-the-ethical-licenses/ https://perens.com/2019/10/12/invasion-of-the-ethical-licens...
- tbyehl 7y agoYou hardly need to read between the lines to understand why ESR is terrified of codes of conduct. Or you can find that DF story where ESR's creepiness towards women was misattributed to RMS.
