It's crazy that the FSF only stands up for license violations of the GNU project, not all GPL licensed projects. That's the reason the software freedom conservancy was created in the 1st place.
RMS' management of the GNU project derailed long ago, from him vetoing for his jokes in project he's not involved anymore, going OT & insulting on mailing lists and often threatening GNU maintainers by stating that their project belongs to GNU, not them.

- MaxBarraclough 3y agoGood point, I should have been more precise: they require copyright assignment if you want a special commitment from them to enforce the licence terms of your project. Will be interesting to see where that lawsuit goes.
