If Matthias Kirschner Loves Free Software, He'll Change the Name of the Microsoft-Sponsored Organisation He Governs (in Order to Avoid Confusion)

LESS than a month ago Dr. Stallman, who had founded Free software, said in France (full talk) that there was still a conflict or disagreement between the so-called 'FSFE' (we call it FSF-EEE sometimes) and the real FSF, which is based in Boston and turns 40 in a few months.
We're also a few days away from the self-serving "I Love Free Software" PR charade/stunt of the Microsoft-funded (more and more over time; Microsoft is now the top sponsor) FSF-EEE.
Since FSF-EEE is basically a front that speaks for Microsoft, Google, Intel (i.e. USA) etc. it's about time for a rebrand. Stop giving people the wrong idea that FSF-EEE is some sort of "European branch" of the FSF. It's not. Sometimes the FSF-EEE attacks the FSF, trying to destabilise it by inciting people against its founder. If that's not bad enough, the FSF-EEE liaises with a Microsoft front group called "OSI" and attacks the other person behind the GPL (Professor Moglen).
If FSF-EEE was an actual nazi operation, it would "make sense". But it seems like the FSF-EEE chooses its targets based on ideology. The FSF-EEE does not really like Software Freedom, it just loves money (including Microsoft's). Anything for money. █
