| TechrightsBot-tr | @lxle@ilikefreedom.org: Recently Richard Stallman was asked this question “What are your opinions about the companies that work with Free Software, notably Red Hat and Canonical, and are, every time, distancing themselves more and more from the ideals of Free Software and making small proprietary walled gardens in their so-called ‘ecosystems’ (which, of course, harm the whole GNU/Linux ‘ecosystem’ and community). Specifically, Cano | Jul 24 09:31 |
| schestowitz | " | Jul 24 09:31 |
| schestowitz | The examples within the question describe a false premise and do damage to the actual question at hand. Having your own init system, package format, and/or graphics manager doesn't mean that you're harming free software. Last I checked, APT, dpkg, etc were free software. In fact, APT is one of the oldest package managers on Linux, which is fitting as Debian is one of the oldest distributions. | Jul 24 09:31 |
| schestowitz | Free (as in speech) Software is there to be used, viewed, and edited by whomever has a copy of the software. Dr. Stallman has even said that he has no problem with people selling their software, he has a problem (and always has) with software and software developers that infringes on the core freedoms to view the source code, edit the source code (contributions, customization, etc), and redistribute the source code. | Jul 24 09:32 |
| schestowitz | If RedHat (for example) users don't like Plymouth, they don't have to use it, they can uninstall it and place whatever init system they want on it because RHEL, CentOS, and Fedora are still just Linux under the hood. Sure, it takes time, but it can be done and there are sites all over the internet that explain how to create custom packages and repos for all sorts of Linux distros, so after the initial investment of time to customize | Jul 24 09:32 |
| schestowitz | your distro, you can rest assured that your custom package will always remain the default. That's in keeping with the core freedoms that Free Software is about and Dr. Stallman would agree (as he's alluded to in several interviews over the years). | Jul 24 09:32 |
| schestowitz | If developers didn't break away from the mold every once in a while and create something that they felt was an improvement on an older piece of software that performed some task or solved some problem, we wouldn't have the plethora of choices in Free Software that we do today. Imagine if when Debian came out nobody said "I think I can make a distro better suited to X needs", we wouldn't have RedHat/CentOS/Fedora, Gentoo, Arch, Funtoo, | Jul 24 09:32 |
| schestowitz | Slackware, Ubuntu, SuSE/OpenSuSE/Novell, Sabayon, Mint, etc. | Jul 24 09:32 |
| schestowitz | Personally, I think people in Free (as in speech) Software need to spend more time taking a step back and thinking about what they are actually saying. Free Software is all about choice and the ability to have the power over your system (even if complex) to customize that system to your personal needs. If Free Software advocates spent slightly less time being activists and more time developing and/or contributing to (great) Free | Jul 24 09:32 |
| schestowitz | Software, the entire movement would have much sharper teeth than it has today. I mean, hell, Free Software inspired tons of us to become developers in the first place. Let's not lose that inspiration and motivation. You can be an activist in Free Software all you want, but if you're not developing anything, what are people going to use when you've changed their minds? | Jul 24 09:32 |

| DaemonFC | Some politicians (the same ones that got us into this mess, no less) say "What we're doing to our children is criminal!".

| DaemonFC | schestowitz, There was a game where you get to run the federal budget and the point they were trying to make is that you should cut Social Security and Medicare. | Jul 24 11:21 |
| DaemonFC | Instead, I set the corporate taxes higher, reduced military and DHS spending, implemented universal healthcare, Social Security at age 62, and free college education. | Jul 24 11:22 |
| DaemonFC | In the end, I still had a surplus, so I posted my results, and they changed the game to make that impossible to do a little later on. | Jul 24 11:22 |
| DaemonFC | There's this steady drumbeat that says we need to cut into Social Security, and not even ask about all the money that gets spent everywhere else. | Jul 24 11:23 |
| DaemonFC | The sad part is that there's not much left to cut out of Social Security. | Jul 24 11:24 |
| DaemonFC | The average benefit is only about $1,150 a month right now. | Jul 24 11:24 |
| DaemonFC | That's basically enough to just barely scrape by. | Jul 24 11:25 |
| DaemonFC | And a lot of people get less than that. | Jul 24 11:25 |

"We are the company who advertised a 75% cut on donations as a positive change for Banshee's developers. We also completely forgot to notify the Kubuntu community about the money that was supposed to reach them.

| schestowitz | apparently some Russian dude | Jul 24 20:43 |
| schestowitz | see Phoronix forums | Jul 24 20:43 |
| schestowitz | but the attribution in the code shows a proprietary software developer grabbing lots of GPL-licensed code | Jul 24 20:44 |
| schestowitz | unless it was adapted from BSD code | Jul 24 20:44 |
| iophk | The one line summary at github claims it is derived from Android. | Jul 24 20:44 |

| iophk | Ext2 would be better in firmware any way | Jul 24 20:46 |
| iophk | The "developer" did a poor job of posting licensing and contact info. github should require both for a project to be published. | Jul 24 20:54 |
| iophk | License could be chosen from a pulldown menu or even a matrix. | Jul 24 20:54 |
