- sham1 2y agoSince we're talking about the "utopian and unrealistic vision" of the GNU project, I'd just like to pedantically note that the GNU project has no vision for "open source" but Free software. Indeed, the Chief GNUisance himself is very adamant about that[0]. Of course, the GNU project is a lot bigger than just RMS, and we shouldn't condemn the project and its struggle against non-free software just because RMS is problematic.

- amiga386 2y agoFor the rebuttal to the Stallman Report: https://stallmansupport.org/ https://stallmansupport.org/ For the details on the author of the Stallman Report -- Drew Devault -- who tried to pretend he didn't write it, see https://dmpwn.info/ https://dmpwn.info/ Also, please consider not using the term "open-source". It's a term designed to pander to businessmen, who are afraid of the Free Software movement's goals, and to muddy the waters as to what rights you should have with such software.
- Kwpolska 2y agoThe term "Free Software" sucks from the marketing point-of-view, as ~everyone except FSF fanboys understands it to mean "price = $0". Sorry, that ship has sailed.
