> Of course. The problem as I see it is not dissent, even I dissent. The > problem I think is that Free Software has lost the ball to the other team "Lost the ball"? that sounds really pessimistic. This is not what we need if we are going to inspire and activate the Free Software Movement to move the ball towards the goal. Really it's a tragedy for Free Software. And rather than give up or "admit > defeat" I recommend Free Software do what it has always done: work to make > all users free. But it's not doing that anymore.

He needs his allies around him - not only for support but to generate ideas too. Share your thoughts with him. > I've been proposing things for both for years. It's too late.

We need people to surround RMS and amplify Free Software's ideals. You won't galvanise the movement by pessimism. > We have a real issue with wolves and henhouses here.

I would encourage you to first identify individuals who support Free Software's ideals, then meet with RMS in order to plan strategies for charting the way forward.
