I’m not a GNU package maintainer (unless you still consider GNOME a GNU project), so I’m not saying anything about GNU as upstream developers, but if you want to discuss frankly our issues with them, I hope you can talk about RMS and the handful of holier-than-thou followers who always find something that is “not free enough”. There’s the topic of non-free firmwares of course (which suddenly become free when they are shipped as EPROMs), and there’s the insanity that is said every other day about Mono and anything loosely related to Microsoft. These people still represent the voice of the community in the minds of journalists. They should consider it a great responsibility on their shoulders, and I think they are abusing it; instead of promoting the actual voice of the community, they are scaring people away by extremist views based on incorrect claims. I’d also join the crowd on the topic of non-free documentation which is still extremely cumbersome for us, and forces people to add non-free APT lines to install documentation for their free software.
