I thought Bradley’s 2018 “state of the copyleft union“ talk at
LibrePlanet was a rare and important bit of positive
constructive criticism for free/libre software.
Sadly, it was met with mixed reactions from the audience- including RMS
who apparently saw it as defeatist, because he yelled “We’re not licked
yet!!” and then stormed the stage to give an impromptu rebuttal.
I don’t have much context for other contributions from Bradley, but
that one talk was a breath of fresh air and levelheadedness.
(Bradly, do you know the whereabouts of that talk, the notes, or dare I
imagine, the video?)

Friends, hackers, coders, men, lend me your ears!
Rise up to eject backstabbers of Freedom – not praise them;
The evil such men do lives after them
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff;
Oh judgement! Thou art fled to brutish beests
But not our GNU, though wilde, will not be tamed
By men – he/him they/them who have lost their reason;
Who conceal the yoke under Hats of garish colour Red,
Who steal upon Freedom, Softly, with Micro vision,
Or who, Google-eyed, seek to buy those entirely willing.
Who amongst us has the balls
And choose to lend them to our cause?
Will Rise Up and tear down walls
Intended to subvert our GPL laws?
