Just saw the discussion around the Haier Home Assistant takedown and thought it would be good to materialize the metaphorical blacklist.

    Your pull quote expresses hostility to not FSF idealism. I get that you drank the koolaid and believe you get to tell anyone who uses your product what they can do with it. That’s just telling a cook what they have to do with their ingredients just because they bought from you. It’s okay.

      What??? It’s literally just a group distinguishing itself from another. Both Open Source and Free Software work together against a common enemy.

      It’s good to distinguish different groups that have different methodologies, motives and goals to avoid friction. This essay is actively trying to avoid hostility.

      you get to tell anyone who uses your product what they can do with it.

      Horseshoe theory but for copyleft and copyright. What a fucking joke. I thought you had good intentions but now I know you’re unwilling to see another perspective.

        You don’t seem to understand the implications of GPL and you’re real interested in pushing an org that propped up a pedophile. Based on your comment history, you’re either a troll or you really are into some objectionable shit.

        I don’t have a problem with FSF or copyleft. I do have a problem with people that don’t understand either.
