Why Software Freedom Conservancy Does Not Deserve Money (Karen Sandler is Already a Millionaire and Her Organisation Attacks Free Software Leaders)
GUESS who is trying to raise money at the FSF's expense, claiming there are "matches" without bothering to say who does the matching (same issue as we covered in past years [1, 2] because it was the same).
It is the same 'copycat org' or splinter group (Software Freedom Conservancy or "SFC" sounds like SFLC, the "real thing") that liaised with a Microsoft front group to demonise the GPL people just over a year ago ("FSFE" sounds like FSF, but it's an identity thief).
They basically ask people to donate money to sponsor attacks on Richard Stallman, Eben Moglen etc. (the people who started the entire thing that "FSFE" and "SFC" now try to 'monetise' at the expense of the originators while libeling these originators).
Be careful who you sponsor this December. Instead of supporting Free software you might be making Karen Sandler more than a millionaire than she already is, trampling over other women.
Does that sound familiar? Yes, the Linux Foundation... SFC works with it.
Yesterday we saw this article entitled "Repairability Isn't Enough: Why I'm No Longer Supporting Software Freedom Conservancy". An associate of ours says this article "is important and raises an important observation about the deflection by Kuhn and co" (Karen Sandler mostly).
"The SFC remains a front for the ongoing attack against software freedom," the associate insists. "Right to repair is related but not the same and its use in this case is only a misdirection and a means to create confusion."
SFC is also professionally connected to the person who abuses my family and I [1, 2]. So if you throw money the SFC's way, this is what you're supporting....
SFC does not support women. It's only using them and casually attacks some.
To quote from the article: "He [RMS] recognized proprietary software as an ethical and moral problem - it subjugated users. Similarly, the primary reason to reject proprietary software today isn't because we can't "repair" it but because it denies us our freedom."
What's more, SFC did what amounts to Deny Friday marketing for a product, aided by the Linux Foundation's Jon Corbet.
These people speak for "Big Money" interests, not for freedom. They are definitely no "social justice warriors", they just exploit people who say they are [1, 2]. Some people have turned this exploitation into a gainful career. █
