Finally organizations showing their support. Although the number of individuals who defend RMS is already more than twice the people who are anti-RMS and still growing, its nice to see organizations joining to defend RMS.
- EdwardDiego 6y agoWhere are you maintaining this score, out of curiosity?
- icha 6y agoThere is a support letter hosted on github: https://rms-support-letter.github.io/ https://rms-support-letter.github.io/
- cbm-vic-20 6y agoHosted on GitHub, a business (now a division of Microsoft) whose core is centered around the "Tivoization" of a GPL-licensed program. Ironic.
- lelanthran 6y agoIt's in the linked letters of support FTFA. There is less support for firing RMS than there is for keeping him, even though the people signing the "keep" are face negative consequences or supporting the FSF's goals.
- andrewshadura 6y agoYou mean hundreds of anonymous GitHub accounts or absolutely nobodies are risking something, as opposed to people who have proven track record of actually doing real work in the world of free software? Just wow.
- icha 6y agoOh, wow. Maybe if you actually skimmed through the list of supporters you'd find that they're real people with real jobs strongly interested in FOSS from all around the world? Or are you, perhaps, a jingoistic xenophobe for whom only American opinions matter?
- andrewshadura 6y agoThis is a complete miss from your side, I’m not an American and not a xenophobe.
- knz_ 6y agoA bunch of 4chan kids signing a reactionary letter vs hundreds of respected names in the FOSS community. One of these groups has a negative impact on society as a whole, the other are hundreds of respected people working for free or reduced pay to create FOSS software.
