I thought Bradley’s 2018 “state of the copyleft union“ talk at
LibrePlanet was a rare and important bit of positive
constructive criticism for free/libre software.
Sadly, it was met with mixed reactions from the audience-
including RMS
who apparently saw it as defeatist, because he yelled “We’re not
licked
yet!!” and then stormed the stage to give an impromptu rebuttal.
I don’t have much context for other contributions from Bradley,
but
that one talk was a breath of fresh air and levelheadedness.
(Bradly, do you know the whereabouts of that talk, the notes, or
dare I
imagine, the video?)
I think the FSF chose not to make that one available. Danny, thank you
also for speaking in favor of constructive criticism. No movement can
survive an allergy to discussion -- especially the discussion of
problems and challenges -- such as all too sadly been happening on this
list lately.
The assumption that any discussion of tactics, or how the free software
movement might respond to changes in society or changes in the industry
is necessarily a smear campaign by Microsoft/Facebook/Etc has been
extremely tiresome.
Best,
Deb

Re: nomination for the FSF Resign Awards:

Friends, hackers, coders, men, lend me your ears!
Rise up to eject backstabbers of Freedom – not praise them;
The evil such men do lives after them
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff;
Oh judgement! Thou art fled to brutish beests
But not our GNU, though wilde, will not be tamed
By men – he/him they/them who have lost their reason;
Who conceal the yoke under Hats of garish colour Red,
Who steal upon Freedom, Softly, with Micro vision,
Or who, Google-eyed, seek to buy those entirely willing.
Who amongst us has the balls
And choose to lend them to our cause?
Will Rise Up and tear down walls
Intended to subvert our GPL laws?
