To the best of my knowledge, thatʼs completely untrue: major GNU subprojects do discriminate contributors by classes: if a contributor-to-be happens to be an employee, FSF does not trust his words about origin of his contribution, he has to bring a reference from his employer. Speaking frankly, even if we put aside how time-consuming it may be, itʼs hard for me to imagine what can be more degrading and thus ‘alienating’ to someone, than a straightaway demand to prove that he is not a liar. Thatʼs why I have mixed feeling about @l...@gnu.orgʼs proposal to introduce “welcomes contributions from all and everyone” in GNU. On the one hand, words sound extremely promising. On the other hand, actions taken so far do not suggest that anyone is really going to put an end to discrimination here, @m...@klomp.orgʼs “next generation of GNU leaders” seems to be far more concerned with fighting jokes.
