- Embed this noticeI'm not saying that we should stop at what is provided by the FSF. That mindset is legit conservative. But I really don't think Stallman has intended all this to be sacred cows. I think it's taking an "ought" from an "is:" the fact that RYF is the accepted certification does not mean we should accept this certification. GPL itself changed over time and adopted to changing realities like Tivoization, stopping somewhere and saying "Yes, this is perfect" is contradictory to the whole history of libre software, starting from when Stallman started replacing proprietary UNIX software with libre GNU alternatives. I would even argue that it plays into the hands of proprietary developers and is the sole reason of the existence of the open-source movement. That is, compromizes, moderation, conservatism.
