Not sure why this is down voted.

You cannot support FOSS and then get mad when people use those freedoms to create a service that matches their ideas and philosophies.

I'm not mad that they have a fork of some FOSS software that they use. I'm upset that they're actively trying to take away other people's freedom under the banner of a non-profit whose mission is to support FOSS software projects.

That's worse than just some random group lying loudly about its intentions. They're getting tax benefits that probably should be yanked unless they change their charter. They also accepted donations to further the existing charter, and they're doing the opposite.

  • I didn't know that providing a service to some people but not others was taking away freedom.
