Although the position of Free software is not partisan or anti-capitalist
itself, I believe the situation is comparable to the

Pretty simple actually. A wise man, quite recently, clarified that "the
goal is ending the existence of proprietary software," and that "there

Your rambling is void of coherence and insight.
There was a time when the FSF, and its choice of chief executive, was
relevant. That time roughly overlapped with Microsoft's heyday in the
1990s. Now that the war's

rms cannot be simply reinstated into FSF because he left himself
willingly. For him to go back inside FSF would require initiative from
him, added to efforts of both parts.

RMS is the best people to lead the free software
FSF seems defunct. When was the last time we had a glorious Peoples

supposed to do: which is protect the copyrights it holds (whole reason
it induces their hand over to begin with)

That is generalization,
The list has flooded me with hundreds of repeated messages. I have received two
unsubscribe messages, but I am still not unsubscribed. Completely unwelcome and
massive spamming (several hundred emails over less than a week, most or all of

I'm subscribed too, automatically, but I'm GLAD for it.

The FSF minus Stallman is a rotten organization; simply adding Stallman
back is not enough. It could
