No matter where your preferences lie, it should be obvious that signing a pro-Stallman letter under your real name in the current climate is career ending at RedHat, Microsoft, Facebook and Google.
If you examine which Free Software contributors signed the anti-Stallman letter and you are familiar with the respective projects, it is easy to see that a lot of them are vocal activists.
One project I know has 100 developers, about 8 signed, the rest are silent for good reason (or signed the pro-letter under a pseudonym).
- tptacek 6y agoNo, I don't think I accept the idea that everyone who didn't sign the anti-Stallman letter has secretly in their heart signed the pro-Stallman letter.
