   @doctormo I think the GPL is a good contribution to free software. But that doesn’t and cannot downplay any of his behavior.

     *sigh* I had a discussion with a Open Source social attendee here in #Boston and, they were absolutely woke-pilled for RMS. In a way that was just disheartening to see someone earnestly downplay the problematic behaviours, trash the safe guarding, the effectiveness of codes of conduct and how much everyone opposing RMS just wants to "tear down the GPL".

     They'd bought every low quality factoid. And I guess it just made me sad to actually meet an RFK level delusion in the Free Software community.
