Your periodic reminder that Richard “RMS” Stallman, creator of the GPL license and president of the Free Software Foundation, is a misogynist, a pedophile, and thinks of disabled people as pets. Free software folks continue to glorify him. Receipts:https://twitter.com/sarahmei/status/817377232016457728 …

Eric “ESR” Raymond is no treat of a person either, but he is no longer in charge of or a spokesperson for the OSI, the way RMS is still in charge of and a spokesperson for the FSF.https://twitter.com/pulkomandy/status/1167817128826822658 …

Replying to @sarahmei
I mean I do consider OSI somewhat chronically entangled with exploitation as well... at least as currently practiced. But I don’t particularly see why we need to adopt FSF or OSI. I would love to see if research into ethical licenses goes anywhere.

One recent alternative is https://licensezero.com/ by @kemitchell . I don't believe it concerns itself with ethics explicitly but a core theme is addressing a perceived exploitation possible under OSI.
