There's no guarantee that the Internet will work at all on someone else's side. I've expressed my opinions on this topic and provided extensive docmentation of the issue. It's unfortunate, but ultimately, it is just a convenience that the user can get the software online. In the early days of GNU, you'd request a physical copy via mail. Please note the mention of mediums in the GPL with regards to conveying the work: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html If a user cannot get a copy of the software from GNU Radio's website, they can get it from someone else and still have their freedoms. They can explicitly choose a working exit node. They can e-mail the author directly and perhaps receive a copy that way. You can send me an e-mail and I'll send you a copy. You can mail me some writable media with postage and I'll mail it back with a copy, and maybe throw in some other GNU software as a bonus. The situation isn't a good one, but let's stop with these accusations that have already been clarified, even by rms himself. If the disagreement is the use of CloudFlare, talk about CloudFlare. It isn't a software freedom issue. -- Mike Gerwitz Free Software Hacker+Activist | GNU Maintainer & Volunteer GPG: D6E9 B930 028A 6C38 F43B 2388 FEF6 3574 5E6F 6D05 Old: 2217 5B02 E626 BC98 D7C0 C2E5 F22B B815 8EE3 0EAB https://mikegerwitz.com
