Thank you for defense of RMS and that includes GNU and FSF too. I do not know of any evidence that somebody in FSF is doing something wrong against the GNU or RMS, if anybody knows, please show me links. Let me give you summary of what happened: 1. Person accused RMS of issues not related to GNU or FSF, related to jokes like abort() jokes, related to his statements which were logical and nothing bad. Even if his statements would be bad for majority of people, those are not related to free software foundation. See references below. My Thoughts on the Richard Stallman "Scandal" by Jacob https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGF17TbbBcE https://sterling-archermedes.github.io/ 2. Few of people in GNU project have made statement that supports feminism politics and have published it on the GNU project pages, in particular on Guix: https://guix.gnu.org/ They have tried to hide the feminism agenda on that page, but they have openly said it on their IRC log, see evidences on http://logs.guix.gnu.org/guix/2019-10-07.log and http://logs.guix.gnu.org/guix/2019-10-08.log by searching for words "abort" and "virgin" jokes and "MIT". Basically, without public discussion, without verification of facts, they are abusing GNU project pages and trying to introduce feminism politics into GNU project. 3. People protest against it and make various comments and remarks. The basis of GNU project is that it is for everybody, it shall be apolitical, because as soon as any politics is introduced, it is dividing the community. We are together in community for reasons of free software philosophy as that is planetarry common goal for GNU and free software activists. Feminism or introduction of any politics into the independent and apolitical GNU project is obviously dividing the community as we are not supposed to be identified within GNU project by our political opinion, but by our activism to free software. The only politics that GNU project shall push is free software activism. We shall be friends in GNU project for reasons of having GNU as common. And not for reasons if we agree to feminism or not agree to feminism or any other politics beyond GNU project, at that moment it becomes politics beyond free software. Sadly nobody from FSF realizes what means division of community and nobody is acting upon it publicly that I know or can see. My suggestion is that you rethink about all that and decide yourself if introduction of any other politics is good or not good for GNU and FSF, and then to write to following email addresses with your opinion: To FSF: fsf-and-...@fsf.org and to GNU: gnu-and-...@gnu.org and express your opinion. Jean Louis P.S. How does Dr. Richard Stallman lead GNU Project? Dr. Richard Stallman contacts opinion leaders and forwards free software: https://www.zdnet.com/article/free-software-advocate-richard-stallman-spoke-at-microsoft-research-this-week/ He teaches the world on free software: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCh8EcBrptA Dr. Richard Stallman provides policies and planning for GNU project, and he has done so successfuly for many years. _______________________________________________ Discussion mailing list Discussion@lists.fsfellowship.eu https://lists.fsfellowship.eu/mailman/listinfo/discussion
