The media that caused Dr. Stallman to lose his place at MIT and also at the FSF (which he had founded) still libels him, having just — yet again — wrongly asserted that Stallman “defended” the person whom he actually called “serial rapist”

Woolly bullies in the context of the Free software world

“Revenge, punishment and ‘cancel culture’ are themselves unethical. It’s a fascist programme.”

A promising, potentially exciting, freedom-respecting set of products would be easier to talk about than actually deliver; we take a look at what goes on at Purism

Linux Foundation (LF) publicity stunts wind up disgracing the causes they claim to be serving; an insider's story revealed what had happened and we explain why that's a problem which prevails to this date (it's all about money)

Trying to separate software freedoms from all other freedoms is like trying to separate Freedom 1 from Freedom 2: Studying software is a collaborative endevour.

Recently, a person named Eric Lundgren completed his jail sentence just for copying and distributing Microsoft software which is available for free in their website

Open Source is like a broken record, and it is a broken promise. If you want to fail, follow them — they will show you the way.

It’s not at all outlandish or unreasonable to suggest that Microsoft used patents or bribes or kickbacks as incentives for Samsung to abandon GNU/Linux as a desktop platform

ilson Bustos recently said on the guix-devel mailing list: “IMHO, We want [deep] diversity, that means thinking diversity not only ‘gender diversity’…” He’s concerned about the attacks on Richard Stallman, and that’s where the context of this article begins. But this is not only about Stallman.

Looking back at three weeks of misinformation, we insist that Stallman should have his membership — if not position — in the Free Software Foundation (FSF) Board reinstated

Those who work for corporate publishers, e.g. SJVN (Vaughan-Nichols) and Swapnil, aren't loyal to facts as much as they're loyal to their employers, very rich and well-connected people with an agenda deeply hostile towards Software Freedom

Remarks on Richard Stallman, whose signature now emphasises that he founded the FSF and probably belongs back in its board

Richard Stallman has asked several people to make a case for joining, or not leaving the FSF; I have agreed to do so. I am mostly addressing those contemplating leaving in protest. For those who might think of joining, some of these points may also apply and I invite you to consider them as part of your decision.

Typical and lousy corporate screed, along with corporate media, incites the public against Stallman (based on deliberate misrepresentation), potentially forcing him into temporary ‘homelessness’ (the above is a new Web page from Stallman) while corporations that incorporate GNU into their products rake in billions of dollars each month

The FSF is now actively 'attacking' its very own founder, whose Web site is said to have been defaced by FSF staff

Very confusing times; it looks like Richard Stallman is being forcibly separated from everything he ever created as well as the place of those creations (MIT)

Lack of devotion to Linux, the very thing that the LF is named after, is putting the project at peril; Linux is meanwhile, under the auspices of the LF and Microsoft GitHub, becoming IBM™ systemd®
