      Thread. The whole thread. Stallman did not found a movement. He rode it. Open source software, free software, whatever... the FSF is not necessary for any of it. And right now it's demonstrating that we shouldn't trust it. Plus, many other orgs do better work.https://twitter.com/sarahmei/status/1177019608789708801 …

      Sarah MeiVerified account @sarahmei
      It’s been more than a week since Stallman resigned from the @FSF. The organization has still not communicated even _vague_ plans for moving forward. #cancelstallman means not just removing him from power. It means rethinking what the org he created is for - & who it serves.

      What's the point in making things up? Nobody thinks rms invented FLOSS. But he created the concept of copyleft licenses, and he created the GNU project. And the FSF has done a lot of great work, and is actually concerned with user's rights.

      He did not create the concept of the copyleft. He branded it *as* copyleft, and made himself the front man for a bunch of folks that were already pushing the concepts. Copyleft-style licenses would have happened without RMS.

      Can you show me the copyleft licenses that happened before rms? I'd love to read them.

          Will I find a coypleft license there that was written before the GPL?

          You're asking about stuff I didn't care about, over 25-30 years ago. Go find out.
