Techrights-sec2Are there any benefits, aside from FSF getting money, for associate membership?Nov 27 08:28
Techrights-sec2Do they get any input or representation in decisions?  Do they get any advanceNov 27 08:28
Techrights-sec2information about projects or decisions?Nov 27 08:28
schestowitz-TRNO, WE WROTE ABOUT IT Nov 27 08:29
schestowitz-TRsorry, capsNov 27 08:29
Techrights-sec2npNov 27 08:29
Techrights-sec2Yes, I recall the article and other forums mentioned it a little, so maybe,Nov 27 08:29
Techrights-sec2just maybe, the FSF has though about it and made at least minor adjustments.Nov 27 08:29
Techrights-sec2^thoughtNov 27 08:40
Techrights-sec2I guess they'd also have to think it through to ensure that it does not getNov 27 08:40
Techrights-sec2gamed like LF membership and OSI membership has been gamed.Nov 27 08:40
Techrights-sec2However, as it stands the only apparent benefit is that of having donatedNov 27 08:40
Techrights-sec2extra to the FSF.Nov 27 08:40
schestowitz-TRthe FSF's board was "infiltrated"; you can see comments to that effect from an insider in IRC logsNov 27 08:41
Techrights-sec2Yes, though it seems salvagable as an institution for the time being.  ItNov 27 08:41
Techrights-sec2could go either way still.Nov 27 08:41
activelowin the video RMS talks about GCC as if it wasn't EGCS since 1997, this is important, and it was more than a renaming at that time already, i suspectNov 27 08:45
activelowbefore that happened, FSF rejected many contributions, which was necessary to protect GNU compiler to remain truly free, in particular free from proprietary vendor interestsNov 27 08:45
activelowwhich is funny somehow, because RMS whines about torvalds and linux kernel shipping blobsNov 27 08:46
activelowand gcc ships extensions to support proprietary hardware (intel vendor specific mmx/sse to name one in particular)Nov 27 08:47
activelowfor fun, i downloaded the intel documentation for this, holy sh***, thousands of pages of vendor specific stuff gcc now supportsNov 27 08:48
