First let me say that I like the new Web site very much. It does my
heart good to see valid HTML in a well structured Web site.
Now on to my questions:
Why is Haifux called a Linux club and not a GNU/Linux club?
What is Haifux's official stance on software licenses? Are we just going
with the flow or should we take a stance and say "We at Haifux believe
that software licensed under the GNU/GPL and compatible licenses promote
collaboration, cooperation and the advancement of software development
both for the individual and the software industry."?
Was there a vote taken some time in the past? Did people decide to go
the OSI way? If so why is there no link to the OSI's web page.
I was quite surprised to find that the site does not even contain a link
to www.gnu.org, not even in the "Linux Links" section.
Is this they way we want people curious about Linux to go? Why should we
keep them ignorant of the history and the licenses that make
collaboration possible? If not to actively support the FSF with words on
the site and with the group's official title, then at least we can give
a single HTML link to their site.
BTW I've donned my asbestos body armor prior to posting so feel free to
flame me to a crisp. My FSF associate membership card (#1250) will
protect me!
