Character assassination by anonymous cowards.

The Free Software movement has been completely routed. MS owns GitHub. The farmers fighting for the "right to repair" their tractors are the "front" of the "battle" for user empowerment. But sure let's beat the shit out of the dead horse that's actually a real live old man with cancer who wrote fucking Emacs, see if that helps?

Character assassination involves lies. The majority of this is just "here's a collection of absolutely indefensible shit RMS said, in his own words".

Yes but it is framed incredibly disingenuously and exaggerates a lot of old, well known things.

There is nothing new in this report.

Ethical Source are attempting a hostile takeover of the FSF and now is the perfect time to release this as there is an FSF board vote happening soon.
