😷 Jan Wildeboer on Nostr: I personally don't need the FSF (Free Software Foundation) or RMS (Richard Stallman) ...
I personally don't need the FSF (Free Software Foundation) or RMS (Richard Stallman) to be a Free Software person that promotes the merits of Software Freedom. Back in the days I was part of the first court case in Germany that established the GPL (v2 at the time) as a valid and enforceable license under German law. We won that case without needing any help from the FSF(E). I have always focused on ideas, never on "heroes" and personification, because people fail. Ideas are bigger than people.
