I would be much less irritated by a person working for a homeless charity approaching me that I would be a person from the FSF (especially considering most people won't have a clue what free software is).

- k-mcgrady 13y agoYes, but my issue was with the comparison to charities. Sure it can be annoying to be approached constantly but when someone says they are from a homeless charity etc. you know what they mean and can quickly decide if you want to give them your time/money. If someone stops you and says they would like to discuss the FSF you probably won't have a clue what it is and it'll be more annoying as you can't easily make a decision without finding out more information.
- jiggy2011 13y agoBut isn't the point of the pamphlets to provide that information? I don't get the impression that they are soliciting donations in the street.
