No. I did not. But I doubt Richard has any problem with publishing that stuff. He would have asked. Anyway, who are you to demand it. You are not one of the parties. > By the way, did FSFLA ever published something about Stallman's > cancelation in 2019 or 2021? I haven't seen any, but maybe there is. Not oficially. But all members of the board support Richard. We did not take any action because we did not find a way to make things better and not worse for the situation. At least that is my take. > Regarding my rather blunt response about RMS and LP, I was shocked by > your justification for not speaking up, but that is only because I > tend to judge things according to my own values.

Using nonfree software to advance freedom is a valid use. But most people extend it to comfort or saving money, not for the advancement of freedom. Taking one step forward and two steps backward is not advancing. > I'm sorry I can't follow everything that's posted here, you people are > too prolific. I send short messages. Perhaps you are being too simplistic and judge people without any thinking. _______________________________________________ Discussion mailing list Discussion@lists.fsfellowship.eu https://lists.fsfellowship.eu/mailman/listinfo/discussion
