I don't think RMS should be "cancelled". If FSF want him on the board that's fine with me. However, you include: "Some also accuse Stallman of sexual harassment and “assault” which there’s no proof of and as a person who knows him, I can tell very far from truth." There are enough stories that I find it implausible that there haven't been bad encounters in the past between Stallman and others. Maybe he didn't realize he treated someone badly. Maybe he has since learned and treats people better. I don't know. I remember an actor commenting on a late show that there wouldn't be a "me too" moment highlighting his bad behavior but acknowledged in the past he might have been dismissive to a woman in a meeting or something. We are all human and anyone can make a mistake. Even without those stories, I find RMS flawed in his treatment of games. He is accepting of non-free artwork and other content as long as it is not code. I understand his reasoning that is the artistic vision of the creator. I just don't agree. If you want to add a new feature to the game which requires some new sprites, you would be required to redo all the content or perhaps make the new sprites clash in style so as to not infringe on the copyright of the original art. Even something as simple as tweaking a pause screen to add some information may require altering some graphics. A free game with non-free content effectively makes it non-free because some changes cannot be reasonably made. -- Dennis Payne [email protected] https://social.freegamedev.net/channel/dulsi _______________________________________________ libreplanet-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.libreplanet.org/mailman/listinfo/libreplanet-discuss
