Also, for a related article against "forking", "bundling", and "reinventing the wheel" practices, see [[https://wingolog.org/archives/2015/11/09/embracing-conways-law]]. * Threats ** People who still refuse to contribute to GNU Emacs for some reason I have seem people making completely separated projects from GNU Emacs due to concerns of being required to assign copyright to the FSF. However, first and foremost, I must add that I'm in favor of doing such assignment, because FSF is a charity organization --- not just a non-profit ---, and they, together with other organizations, do community-oriented copyleft enforcement, not the "average"/"extortion-based" copyleft enforcement. One thing that I would like to test would be to ask the same people who deny copyright assignments to the FSF: Would they assign copyright to some organization if such organization were to offer them a 1 bi job? Between the two scenarios, I don't see much difference, except that FSF works for a free/libre and just/fair digital society, whereas the "organization" works for its own interests and can kick all their workers and these wouldn't be able to take their own copyrights/work back. --=20 - [[https://libreplanet.org/wiki/User:Adfeno]] - Palestrante e consultor sobre /software/ livre (n=C3=A3o confundir com gratis). - "WhatsApp"?
