Hi, Regardless of supporting Richard Stallman or not returning to the FSF, its organisational structure and its way of taking decisions, what is certain is that this situation will cause division, hatred and grudge within different Free Software communities and that will be the most harmful thing for the growth and strength of Free Software development, even beyond the moral aspects or wrongdoings of Richard Stallman. I think Debian should not be affected in its unity and work by deciding whether to make an official statement on behalf of the whole project in support of one position or the other. I propose that in a personal way those who want to sign or not sign any of the letters, go ahead, but that no public statement be made on behalf of the Debian Project in an official way. How will the Debian Project benefit from that? It will gain in division and weakness as is already showing up on the mailing lists, Regards Jathan
I agree, we should concentrate on what is important:- * Building the best distro out there* Ensuring our own community is open, transparent, inclusive and respectful and is safe to be part of for everyone
* Ensuring software freedom can and continues to thrive in the face of so many challenges, obstacles and threats.
