I worked at the FSF for a number of years. The FSF has some hard working and dedicated staff, but is dogged by a number of the issues Drew deVault mentions in their article. https://drewdevault.com/2023/04/11/2023-04-11-The-FSF-is-dying.html https://drewdevault.com/2023/04/11/2023-04-11-The-FSF-is-dyi... I think free software and open source are at this point the same thing. A lot of people who care about software freedom issues do so under the banner of open source because of the issues of the FSF and wanting to distance themselves from the FSF. The FSF doesn't do a good job of promoting free software. Take a look at the FSF homepage -- where's the messaging on getting typical computer users (especially those on Windows or a Mac or a Chromebook) to use free software? The approach seems to be that either you install Linux from a small subset of minority distributions -- https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html -- or nothing. Thirteen years ago (2010) I worked on a campaign aimed at end-users and it looks like it has been updated very little since -- https://www.fsf.org/working-together/moving https://www.fsf.org/working-together/moving -- getting this done was an uphill battle as the FSF didn't want to promote Firefox at the time. Where is the end user campaign for using free software? Where is the EFF for users?
