Fellow Hackers:

   We need a fearless counter campaign.

   Roy Schestowitz explains that he was advised by an "insider":

   _the_Person_Who_Started_GNU_Li.shtml

   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.
