What weak, counter-productive, messaging. This is like having a bully punching you in the face and responding with “hey man, I’m not going to do anything about this, I’m not even going to tell an adult, but I’d urge you to consider not punching me in the face”. Great news for the bully! You just removed one concern from their mind, essentially giving the permission to be as bad to you as they want.
- nazgulsenpai 8mo agoIt's the FSF and their licensing is what it is. What other messagaging would be consistent with the foundation's mission?
- latexr 8mo agoThey could not mention they usually don’t sue and that they are small and “have to pick [their] battles”, which effectively means “there will be no repercussions from our side, we won’t even consider trying, so continue to do as you please and even worse”. Saying nothing is an option. It is very possible (and the FSF has done it) to put yourself into a weaker position by saying something. You don’t have to lie, but you don’t have to unpromptedly volunteer you don’t have a hand to play, either.
- nazgulsenpai 8mo agoThanks for explaining, that's fair.
