Re: [libreplanet-discuss] The FSF Allows No Derivatives,

[aoi]

A friend of mine emailed Stallman about creating FAN translations of 
published works that have been locked up by exclusive privileges, (not 
questioning the legality of it because obviously we know the answer to 
that question even if I don't agree with how the law works), but 
questioning the morality of it. And he actually replied. He said 
creating derivatives of published works without permission is morally 
ok, but not translations. Translations are not ok.

Of course this was 2012 and I couldn't give you exact quotes anymore, 
and perhaps he has changed his position on this matter?

Stallman is a die-hard free software person and I have nothing less than 
the utmost respect for that.
But unless I am mistaken, he is horrible on free culture and the freedom 
to modify and republish published works, even though software IS a form 
of culture!
