In fact, the two groups overlaps more often that not: if you look, say, at the sponsors of most of the organizations that signed the infamous "RMS open letter" you'll find #Microsoft, #Google, #Meta, #Amazon, #IBM and so forth...

Like it or not, if you take their money, you serve their goals.

Compare, for example, #FSF sponsors with #FSFE (!) or #SoftwareHeritage (that in turn is a sponsor of #Guix), to get an idea of why groups that pretend to advance #FreeSoftware did (and do) their best to destroy the #GNU project.

rms-open-letter.github.ioAn open letter to remove Richard M. Stallman from all leadership positionsWe, the undersigned, call for the entire Board of the FSF to step down and for Richard M. Stallman to be removed from all leadership positions. We will not continue suffering his behavior, giving him a leadership role, or otherwise holding him and his hurtful and dangerous ideology as acceptable.

I wish you were right, but with its "Joint Statement on the GNU Project" #Guix joined the shitstorm that back then was after #RMS head.

Back then, #Stallman selflessly left #MIT and #FSF to protect them from the mob justice, so that "joint back-stab", published in that specific moment was not just a sort of virtue signaling but a plain attack.

So much that, two years later 9 of those people signed the infamous "RMS open letter" calling "for the removal of the entire Board of the Free Software Foundation" that dared reinstantiate RMS and even for "Richard M. Stallman to be removed from all leadership positions, including the GNU Project" out of lies.

The powers in place in 2021 were quite evident: just look at the sponsors of the signing organizations to find Google, Meta, Microsoft and all of their friends.

¿Cómo empezó esto de LibreCan?
Íbamos a organizar un meetup por el 40 aniversario de la #FSF pero tras darle una vuelta pensamos que también podía ser una buena oportunidad para crear una comunidad más permanente de #SoftwareLibre y #CulturaLibre en #Canarias.

Conecta con gente con tus mismas inquietudes en la primera #LibreCan2025 el próximo 10 de Mayo en #SantaCruz de #Tenerife y/o participa en el foro ¡Esta comunidad también es tuya! 👇
