The FSF has never had as many members as it has now, and most of the new members are from the fierce fanbase. They became members when there was an attack on RMS from inside and out. In a way I think one root cause is about professionalism. Corporates like sensible professional behaviour. Activists don't. Activist organisations could be seen as compromising by becoming clean. Perhaps it's about the hobby internet and big internet businesses via arguements about tone and attitude.
