[libreplanet-discuss] FSF and Ideas

[Algot Runeman]

It is good to see that this discussion has become generally civil as 
people begin to take considered positions about being LibrePlanet 
participants, Associate members and Supporters of FSF, Software 
Freedom/Free Software. The misquotes in modern media are not surprising, 
actually. "If it bleeds, it leads." has been an editorial policy (even 
if unstated) for a long time.

Seeing this continuing discussion rise above that level is gratifying. 
Being a FSF Associate Member is one step towards being actively in 
support of the ideals. For those who are unable to make significant code 
contributions to GPL software can use the small financial contribution 
as a way to do more than simply saying, "I support the four freedoms" as 
the only "contribution".

I benefit daily from my freedoms, including not walking in lockstep with 
any tech corporation for software. Thanks to all who are educating me 
about the complexities of finding a sustainable organization whose 
purpose goes steadfastly forward to keep GPL strong, and Free Software 
much more than just "gratis".

Keep the good ideas coming.
