I know this case only from the outside: What I have read on this an other
forums and on sites like libreboot.org, fsf.org etc. I have never met any
implied parties and have no insider knowledge about persons, situations,
relations or what not.
I have purchased a libreboot installation service from Minifree and in
relation to that I have communicated with Leah. About the order and about
some related technical issues in the very same way I am now communicating
with Tiberiu from Tehnoetic about a similar installation service.
I have grown to become a very firm believer in free and open software. Yet I
have no deep knowledge about underlying and implied technical issues or
matters of principle.
Hence, I consider my self a member of the libreboot community as well as of
the free software community but still as sort of an outsider.
In my view, based on the above, I have two comments:
Firstly, in my opinion there is no doubt, that libreboot, GNU and fsf
basically are working towards the same goals. And hence it makes little sense
that they are not joined. My vote is a yes, re-join.
Secondly, I wish to second opinions expressed at least on this site, that
apologies of the magnitude we have seen in this case goes far beyond what
most of us would be capable to express. Let the clean one throw the first
stone, and let the rest of us live and live on with errors and mistakes -
especially those repented and made up for.
