I've neither said nor implied anything legal. Your adversarial tone is not leading to anything constructive. We have clarified your concerns ad nauseam. You are redefining principles either just for the sake of argument, or out of genuine misunderstanding, and refuse to accept any authority on the matter. You don't have to agree, but you don't get to mold long-standing principles to your liking. I'm not sure where you have learned about free software and its principles, but it must not be the FSF or GNU, because if it were, you would have easily gotten clarification by spending much less time reading FSF/GNU articles than you have spent arguing on these lists. You would have accepted clarification from the man who created the free software definition and fights for its principles every day of his life, And if it's not from either the FSF or GNU---from which these principles originated---then I don't know how we can help; anything we say is falling on deaf ears. If rms wishes to address any further issues, he'll bring it up within GNU; your argument has been made long ago. Conversation has already resulted in a request to the sysadmins to correct the issue with Tor on ftp.gnu.org. It's lead to a discussion on CDNs and issues surrounding hosting software on GNU servers. You've gotten the attention of the GNU Project. Please don't mute that with unreconcilable disagreements. -- 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
