Bonum Certa Men Certa

A Call for Calm and for Unison

Summary: Please do not get carried away by people who try to tear Free software apart

THE events of the past week were not news. They were a phony old 'scandal' resurrected for selfish purposes of corporations that hate the C word ("community") and the F word ("freedom").



"Over the weekend we'll post some calm analyses of recent events."We have not said much about this topic. This was intentional. Infighting weakens us. This is what they want. Angry mobs want us to fight. Let's not stoop down to the mob's level. Let's do better than that.

Write positive things about software freedom. Don't resent. Forget and forgive. Move on.

Over the weekend we'll post some calm analyses of recent events. We'll attempt to show the forces at play and their objectives/agenda.

All based on the underlying facts, not emotions (like anger and hysteria).
