Free Software Foundation (FSF) Fund Raiser Goes on
The FSF's fund-raising campaign "officially" (or "unofficially") ended on Friday, but the banner is still intact. The progress bar is still shown; it's progressing.
This means that the FSF can reach its target at some later date, maybe by month's end.
The FSF is one of the most important points of resistance against corporate takeover (the EFF sold out years ago).
As Liam Proven put it the other day or as recently as yesterday: "The Open Source movement [sic] is relatively corporate, and seeks to persuade businesses that developing in the open makes for better software, which, indirectly, makes them more money. The Free Software movement is about ensuring users' rights, including access to the source code, and founder Richard Stallman explicitly says that "Open Source Misses the Point of Free Software." The term "FOSS" tries to cover both "FS" and "OS", but mingling the two very different terms together risks its advocates forgetting that this handy catch-all acronym masks a profound and important difference of opinion."
Later this month we'll expose another OSI scandal. It became what it was originally meant to antagonise. █
