licked
yet!!” and then stormed the stage to give an impromptu rebuttal.
I don’t have much context for other contributions from Bradley,

that one talk was a breath of fresh air and levelheadedness.

>>>I think the FSF chose not to make that one available. Danny, thank you also for speaking in favor of constructive criticism. No movement can
survive an allergy to discussion -- especially the discussion of
problems and challenges -- such as all too sadly been happening on this
list lately.
The assumption that any discussion of tactics, or how the free software
movement might respond to changes in society or changes in the industry
is necessarily a smear campaign by Microsoft/Facebook/Etc has been
extremely tiresome.
Best,
Deb
I found the talk easily on libre planet media. I thought it was a good talk. Bradly called for employees to stop being so afraid of their employers and stand up and ask for the software written during employment to be madecopyleft under a free software license (like the gpl v3) Richard Stallman was his usual self, but of course when Bradley mentioned Linux he really just meant Linux the kernel.

There wouldn't really be any reason to hide that video. People who may not have joined the FSF or gone to Libre Planet could still benefit from it if they care about free software and write software at work.
Also, maybe some people thought it was defeatist, or thought that maybe copyleft was not necessarily the best tool to enforce software freedom. I think the points made in this talk put an end more or less to that idea. It was certainly not a lay down and bsd everything talk.
