It's only a good thing when police are not needed. I also think Jean Louis was using "police" loosely, perhaps to also mean lack of /legislators/ using feedback to make adjustments when shit happens. No one expected a GNU project to conduct itself in such a freedom-hostile manner, so the lack of legal framework to handle this is understandable. > Downloading from Sourceforege like for example CLISP, GNU Common > Lisp, or downloading through Cloudfare, and other providers > (Github), is not reasonable for freedom loving users. > > You say that it is not reasonable, but not explaining why. In addition to Jean Louis' response, see also the comprehensive list of compromised freedoms here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/directory-discuss/2017-01/msg00066.html > And I just suppose that GNU and FSF would not block Tor users, > when software is served from their servers. > > Neither the GNU project nor the FSF is blocking Tor users. This looks like an attempt at a semantic argument. But IMO it fails as such because the GNU Radio project is *part of* the GNU project. When a part of the GNU project blocks Tor users, the project as a whole (if it must be viewed as a whole) therefore blocks Tor users. -- Please note this was sent anonymously, so the "From:" address will be unusable.
