Re: [libreplanet-discuss] [GNU-linux-libre] [Dev] [consensus][due: 2016-06-13]: New version for Parabola Social Contract

[Adonay Felipe Nogueira]

Even by requiring the licensee to state when he adapts the original
work, that doesn't solve the fact that someone can twist the licensor
opinions without even knowing he did so.

For example, a Brazilian (that calls himself "free software activist")
watched Richard Stallman talk on Stockholm, in January 25th, 2016
(https://www.fsf.org/events/rms-20160125-stockholm), and published a
blog post about it (https://helio.loureiro.eng.br/).

According to the "free software activist", Stallman "said that BSD
systems are currently free software. Maybe after discussing with Theo de
Raadt, creator of the OpenBSD system, he apparently rethought his
criteria for free software and operating systems, since he have never
said so.". And he also said that, according to Stallman, "open source
does not exist".

Also, this "free software activist" notes that Stallman used an image of
Tux (instead of Freedo) on the presentation. Perhaps the person who did
the drawing had only black pen. I personally think it's advisable to
promote Freedo (Linux-libre) instead of Tux (Linux), since Linux is
still non-free.

I call him "free software activist" in quotes because his blog
constantly teaches people how to use/install/fix some non-free
functional data, let alone requiring some minor non-free JavaScript.
