I apologise:=20 1. first, to have sent you a badly edited bug report, 2. second, the late sending of this clarification email. This can be explained by * My own difficulty to use the English language (on this point, I have asked a translator friend of mine to translate my words. What you are now reading is the fruit of her work) * The difficulty to convey the issue arisen by GitHub (as a proprietary tool) in the Free Software movement. (This issue has already been brought up for instance in 2010 by B Mako Hill:=20 https://mako.cc/writing/hill-free_tools.html here translated in French=20 https://framablog.org/2010/09/08/logiciels-libres-mais-outils-non-libres/ ). GitHub, as a platform based on proprietary software is a trap for the developers who use it, particularly because they get into work habits that tie them to one only service provider on the Internet, which is contrary to the very principle of Internet, centre-less network. Yet getting the Internet recentralised would have harmful consequences as much ethically as technically. Therefore, in explaining to its own users to seek some coding on GitHub, or any other non-ethical platform, Emacs "prescribes" the following message to its users: "GitHub? Meh... just some non-open JavaScript" =E2=80=A6 Download on GitHub, code on GitHub! No, don't fuss ov= er it! Incidentally, programmers of free alternatives to GitHub are cool but their work is not very important." =20 Last one more word about those worried by the loss of visibility of their work by having to leave GitHub. May they know that several software forge projects from now on are getting interested in the ActivityPub protocol, which will allow the launching of connected forges into a federation.
