Bridging Stallman's article to the issue at hand of sponsorship, I find it hard to believe that because he's fine with say Oracle using his code that he would also be fine with giving them a platform as a sponsor.
I don't actually know his position on this, but mean to communicate I see the use of free software and the sponsorship issue as separate issues.
- powera 2y agoYou've already commented ten times in this thread. If you don't know, maybe don't say anything?
- ParetoOptimal 2y agoDo you know if Stallman would platform Oracle by allowing them to be a sponsor?
- freedomben 2y agoIf Oracle wanted to give a bunch of money to the FSF and sponsor them? I would think RMS would be overjoyed by that development. The beauty of *GPL is that it can't be used exclusively to the benefit of one party (Oracle). It respects the freedom of the user. That's the whole point.
