<p>It’s not like this is a surprise either. The OSD specifically contemplates the possibility of this type of abuse, and worse, and decides that systemically it’s good, actually, because in a deontological framing any other set of licensing rules could create worse problems for the movement. Even worse: I agree. I still think this is correct and “ethical source” licensing is a dead end. But we can’t stop the conversation there! “Licenses can’t solve ethics, so, I guess we can’t have ethics”</p>

<p>re: FOSDEM, I think a robust discussion of effective forms of protest is great, but after this is over and Dorsey’s talk has been evacuated due to a fire alarm, the even harder and more important conversation that we as a community are also not really prepared to have is “why does a fascist grifter billionaire like ‘free’ software so much that he sponsored our flagship conference and thinks he will be well-received by speaking at it”</p>

<p>Stallman wrote “the right to read” and then spent decades volunteering to build billions of dollars worth of infrastructure to make it possible for a company to do this — <a href="https://ncac.org/news/blog/high-school-student-sues-amazon-for-deleting-1984-from-kindle" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">ncac.org/news/blog/high-school</span><span class="invisible">-student-sues-amazon-for-deleting-1984-from-kindle</span></a> — all the while screaming invective at anyone who dared to criticize his priorities or motives. I don’t think the community has really reckoned with that. I am still struggling to.</p>
