schestowitz | From what I have seen, there are 2 types of people in the anti-RMS camp: | Mar 23 17:22 |
schestowitz | 1. workers of proprietary software #monopolies | Mar 23 17:22 |
schestowitz | 2. people misled by the group (1) | Mar 23 17:22 |
schestowitz | We know who owns the big media, which compels (2) to act based on misunderstandings. | Mar 23 17:22 |
schestowitz | I am trying to shift the discussion beyond all that... | Mar 23 17:22 |

schestowitz | "If FSF should do something, is to create a broad alliance against software patents in the US, via a "bipartisan" Tillis&Coons. One of the reason why FFII was created was because we could not trust other organisations to the job, and still the name sucks" | Mar 23 23:07 |
