I cannot disagree strongly enough. We have lost sight of the idea that all organizations should use long term thinking and have the following priorities, in this order: * Do nothing that harms our employees, customers, or our investors * Accomplish our mission, whatever mission that is * Create revenue for investors If the OP's account is true (I have no reason to discount it) then the FSFE violated rule #1. I'd argue that the FSF mission is to promote free software and a healthy ecosystem of Open Source software and developers. If you accept that as the FSF mission, and the account is true, then they also violated rule #2. We should not rely on the laws to prompt us to act for social good. The laws are there to isolate and protect us from those who do not act morally in the eyes of the state. |
