The methods used to put a leash on Torvalds and Assange and the methods used to put one on Stallman are too similar to ignore. It hasn’t stopped there either, it is now being wielded as a way to yoke all developers of mainstream software (whether mainstream and non-free, or mainstream and under a

Setting aside whether or not RMS should be associated with the GCC project for a bit, I'm particularly concerned about the tone of some of the messages on this thread.  People can and will have differences, and that is fine.  But the discussion needs to stay civil. To those who have crosse
