All this could became meaningless in ten years time because major changes have resulted from division. If we go on dividing the world using a knife rather than stitching it together, everything will be left in tatters. The more effort taken in this direction, the more destructive things will become. Rather, we must touch deeper dimensions of our intelligence which is naturally unifying.
For the sake of study, we initially divided things. With time we start believing that's how things work. But nature is such that without inclusiveness, there is no possibility. If people do not understand what I am talking about, they only have to keep their mouth shut and hold their nose, and became totally exclusive. And in a few minutes they will be dead. The question is whether we are conscious about what is happening or not. Otherwise, inclusiveness will only be for survival purposes. The recent changes in the control of Gcc have all been about survival. Although, the change in copyright assignment can prove beneficial to everybody, this assumes that the people in the Gcc Steering Committee are actually capable of formally understanding and operating the appropriate legal instruments (or getting people who do the capability) to move the world closer to a freedom respecting technological culture. It is undeniable that the driving force behind the change was not communal at all. The aim was to loosen the bonds between the GCC Projects and the FSF, pushed by the drive to impose the most extreme form of censure to an individual and declare him "Persona Non-Grata". As for the way forward in the next ten years, software must became much leaner and effective because of technological capabilities. There is no other way. Software has not moved fast as it should be for users. The trend in the world in the area of technology is that most things are becoming very lean and mean. One of the greatest injustices I see is that many things are made in a hurry. > Sent: Wednesday, June 09, 2021 at 4:56 PM > From: "Siddhesh Poyarekar" <siddh...@gotplt.org> > To: "Valentino Giudice" <valentino.giudic...@gmail.com>, gcc@gcc.gnu.org > Subject: Re: GCC Mission Statement > > On 6/9/21 10:13 AM, Valentino Giudice via Gcc wrote: > > Hi. > > > > The Mission Statement of the GCC project recently changed without any > > announcement. > > Well there was an announcement; the changes in the mission statement > reflect the new reality introduced by that announcement: > > https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc/2021-June/236182.html > > Siddhesh > ----- Christopher Dimech Administrator General - Naiad Informatics - Gnu Project Society has become too quick to pass judgement and declare someone Persona Non-Grata, the most extreme form of censure a country can bestow. In a new era of destructive authoritarianism, I support Richard Stallman. Times of great crisis are also times of great opportunity. I call upon you to make this struggle yours as well ! https://stallmansupport.org/ https://www.fsf.org/ https://www.gnu.org/
