Then carry on. Obviously the Free Software movement is not your cup of tea. You will probably feel more comfortable in the OSS movement. More business oriented.

But it is. He offends your sensibilities. Not mine. Not other people's.
> It is difficult to support FLOSS in the workplace and in society when people associate it with RMS: "that's the stuff that weird guy talks about".
As it should be. The fact you are mixing open source with free software, and then complain it's not business friendly shows you are missing the point. Free software doesn't have to be business friendly. The final objective of the free software movement is that eventually everything becomes free software. All software. That is something current business doesn't find very friendly. Which is their problem. They will have to adapt or disappear.

You will probably feel more comfortable in the OSS movement. More business oriented. I find it interesting that you consider FSFE and SFC as irelevant to Free Software and sugest OSS. Goodpoint did not suggest the OSI. Why do you bring forwared the whole free vs open source discussion? I would say in recent times SFC has done a lot more for free software than the FSF. Name one thing of note that the FSF has done in the last decade.

FSFE is using the FSF name without authorization and also are accepting Microsoft's money which is at least questionable[1] It is also a very toxic working place, but that has nothing to do with Free Software[2] [1] http://techrights.org/2020/08/22/fsf-fsfe-dispute/ http://techrights.org/2020/08/22/fsf-fsfe-dispute/ [2] https://fsfellowship.eu/court-case-fsfe-women-and-volunteers-face-modern-day-slavery/ https://fsfellowship.eu/court-case-fsfe-women-and-volunteers...
