This is a list of organizations that are actively trying to destroy free software with politics and popularity contests.
KDE is still based.

@r000t kicking out rms who is trash and a terrible leader, from a leadership position (which he is demonstrably terrible at) is in no way related to or congruent with the destruction of free software. in fact it is the opposite as his association with fsf is actively harming fsf right now which is why he had to resign in the first place.
@sneak
Yeah but a lot of projects say GPLv3 or later.
So, push out a v4 with nebulous definions, and then bully companies who say 3 or later into enforcing them. Companies that switch from 3 or later, to just 3, will be accused of taking explicit action against marginalized blah blah blah
Maybe it's a bit crazy but did we expect any of this madness ten years ago?
@r000t you don't get to choose what licenses other projects use for their code. also, re ten years ago, see my latest toot re jwz
@footjamfan @r000t there's no reason to do that, software licensed "gpl-3 or later" is always available under gpl-3.
@footjamfan @r000t people's rms kevin bacon number does not make their predictions about the future any more or less valid :P
@icedquinn @footjamfan @r000t lol we are talking about copyrights here which are legal fictions invented by the state and only enforceable by state violence anyway. you can tone down the revolutionary rhetoric and remember that you can always just pirate the codez
@r000t ps: you are free to use gpl v2/3 yourself forever.
