We already know that the attacks on our founder are a proxy for the
subversion of software freedom to serve proprietary interests. Have we
taken note of the "openwashing" identity of the Linux Foundation?

What do we become if we allow our core precept of "Freedom" to be
trampled on by the coercive threat of withholding donations? The global
digital economy runs on Free Software:

GNU hackers are gifted individuals capable of providing unparalleled
consulting services to industries - around the world - that rely on our
software. Perhaps the FSF could begin to devise new sources of revenue by
formally expanding our financial model to include services?
In respect of the latter, we would need an operations management team to:
1) Undertake a market analysis
2) Develop an operational plan.
We also need to formulate a plan concerning our kernel. Let's rid ourselves
of the persistent threat by proprietary entities to defund Software Freedom.
