fribbledom - https://mastodon.social/@fribbledom Legitimately curious whether their having admonished developers into handing over copyright to them over the years will complicate this.

fribbledom - https://mastodon.social/@fribbledom I understand the sentiment, but fsf supports a lot of infra on a shoestring budget (relative to the rest of the tech industry). new leadership would be preferable to watching the whole org collapse. but if the org has to go... so be it.

fribbledom - https://mastodon.social/@fribbledom the normal naming convention is to prefix an 'e' to the fork (gcc -> egcc, glibc -> eglibc, etc.) and we have the FSFE which is pretty close https://fsfe.org/news/2021/news-20210324-01.en.html - https://fsfe.org/news/2021/news-20210324-01.en.html
