A publication from the Free Media Alliance, "Guarding and Rescuing the FSF Titanic," is being published here this week (with support and encouragement from its author). The thoughts expressed therein and the analysis offered in that series isn't Techrights' although parts of these concerns are shared. For instance, we've long argued that the FSF is failing to keep up with growing, deepening and emergent threats. On many of these issues the FSF -- and RMS personally -- has been entirely silent. It means that the stance on those issues is a mystery, subjected only to guesswork and speculations.

"...we've long argued that the FSF is failing to keep up with growing, deepening and emergent threats."A little over a decade ago, just before Peter Brown left the FSF (this video of his was possibly his last) I contacted him regarding an opening in the campaigns 'department'. He said that the job was available only to people who were US/Boston-based. I had no intentions of leaving England. But the point is, my support for the FSF goes a long way back. I've long supported the FSF and I can say that RMS trusts me (we've met several times over the years and we exchange thoughts over E-mail). We agree on a lot of things and I cannot recall us ever feuding (in person or online).

The Free Media Alliance's publication will be complete by week's end. It's important to emphasise that the views expressed there are its own (and the author's). To me, with rare exceptions, the FSF is the same organisation that I supported a decade ago when Brown made this video. I want the organisation to succeed and thus any criticism is hopefully constructive rather than degrading. Contrariwise, the Linux Foundation seems to be actively hostile towards Software Freedom, as this recent video of Jim Zemlin shows. The FSF won't even touch that subject. ⬆
