Well I expected better from r0ml.
I'm disillusioned with the FSF and RMS too but let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater.
Recall that "Free" software began when RMS wanted to fix the software in his printer and Xerox said "No.".
Consider the "right to repair" movement? Farmers can't fix their tractors anymore due to software. That's political and industrial, and yes, educational too.
> I’m willing to support a Public Software Foundation that advocates for [a rational governance framework for software and its effects].
Great! But let's do it without excoriating the old guard? I mean, is Step One really "pick a fight with the FSF"? That's the first thing on the agenda? Apologies for the snark.
I think he's right, though, that the FSF hasn't "moved the needle" and something more is required. Dunno what that would be...
