You can take a look at the 990's, Bradley is _definitely_ NOT getting rich off of his work with the SFC.
- smitop 4y agoFor anyone curious, Bradley made $141k in 2020 including benefits (the deadline for their 2021 return is yet to pass): https://sfconservancy.org/docs/software-freedom-conservancy_Form-990_fy-2020.pdf#page=7 https://sfconservancy.org/docs/software-freedom-conservancy_...
- simfree 4y agoAh, so the same as a software developer at a mid-size government agency?
- wumpus 4y agoMid-career developer in the US government, yes.
- rasz 4y agoWhile not doing any software development, sounds great to me.
- wrycoder 4y agoYeah, he is "Treasurer, et. al." on the 990 and "Policy Fellow and Hacker-in-Residence" on the SFC site's Board list. After he left the FSF he joined the Software Freedom Law Center (Eben Moglen's operation), but only lasted a year. He then started the Software Freedom Conservancy, which resulted in a lawsuit from the SFLC, due the similarity in name and focus.
- wrycoder 4y agoMeanwhile, John Sullivan, ED of the FSF itself, made $112K, including benefits. That is more in line with a small educational foundation.
- swores 4y agoI don't know anything about the person or the org, but there's clear difference between "attempt to profit" which was the accusation and "getting rich", both in that one requires success and that one can come before the other. And from the other reply to you stating a six-figure salary it would seem he is profiting, even if it's a perfectly reasonable amount.
- panny 4y agoI don't care if he makes money. The important part of GP's post was, >they explicitly supported the attempt to eject him from the Free Software Foundation on the basis of trumped up allegations
