The values in this agreement are NOT GNU values. They not only have nothing to do with GNU, but they weaken the GNU project and its purpose. The GNU values is outlined in the Four Freedoms. In this video, for example: http://www.nylxs.com/images/rms_four_freedoms_2016.ogv you find Richard Stallman ***BRAVELY*** in the face of toltalerian dictatorship confront forces of digital censorship, control, and repression, in a place where his message, and the real message of GNU could have caused him to be arrested and even killed. It has happened in that country, and happened recently. There is no subsitution for these values and there is no substitution for this man, a man I personal consider my friend. > I know that GNU maintainers are not > required to adhere or uphold even any free software values and I must > say that was pretty shocked when I learnt that, but it makes me happy to > be able to make this commitment of freedom towards our users. This contract is a fraud and does nothing to promote freedom or help GNU. It seeds discent and lays down cover for an aggressive attack on RMS and GNU, to create a pretense for destroying the organization and destorying RMS personally. Don't make yourself an enemy of GNU and its mission. Don't cohort with lynch mods and pirates.
