Richard Stallman is the reason I didn’t start contributing to open source (then called “free software”) in the 90s. I’m not the only one. He and his followers pushed out a whole generation of female developers, just at that critical time when open source adoption was widening.https://twitter.com/alicegoldfuss/status/993677847280562178 …
Actually you don’t need to assign copyright, you can simply release the code into the public domain. The point of the assignment is so that the FSF can legally defend the source if needed.
