There is the FSFE (Free Software Foundation Europe.) But the problem of free
software is similary to the problems my political party in the Netherlands
(Socialist Party) is exposed to.
People have all kinds of misunderstandings. Even trying to get rid of
misunderstandings in the office where I work is difficult enough. Key issues
are:
- Do we have a profit?
- How can we earn money?
Whereas I would dare to say that if the questions would be:
- Is it ethical?
- Is it worthy of respect?
- Is it humane?
It automatically enables earning money (probably much more as well...)
Although I am talking now as a politician, I believe the problems which are
discussed in this thread are of similar nature and exposes a very similar
struggle. Be aware that I have been beaten up, scolded at and discriminated
because of wanting the society to just be happy...
My idea for my own country is to set up FSF Netherlands. I would recommend
for everyone here living in Europe or another country which doesn't have it's
own FSF to do the same. It would also be nice to have a place to bind all
these ideas which are being uttered in this thread and many others on the
Trisquel site together.
