In case you missed it (I’m pretty sure Kyle didn’t) the Free Software Foundation and the community has been convulsed, again, on the issue of Richard Stallman.
What’s been illuminating to me with the continued fallout: during the various conversations I’ve been having with a wide number of people in the community the issues of licences and the necessity to go above and beyond the limitations of the “Free Software Definition” keeps coming up.
There are many, many different points of view sometimes held simultaneously by the same person (I guess Free Software Folks are like Rabbis that way) but its been amazing to see the pent-up frustrations with the status quo come raging out in the kerfuffle.
I’m afraid I don’t have links to share these discussions, but i assure you, they are there.
