We're trying to defend #FOSS from patent trolls. Please help us: https://www.gnome.org/news/2019/10/gnome-files-defense-against-patent-troll/
@gnome Thanks!
@gnome gnome isnt FOSS, see FSF.org
@Tlacaelel @gnome what do you mean?
@brainblasted @gnome @Tlacaelel i'm trying to look this up and all i'm finding is something about the recent unfortunate remarks that got rms cancelled
@carcinopithecus @brainblasted @gnome @Tlacaelel GNOME is free software, has been from the start. People claiming otherwise do not have the slightest clue what they are talking about.
PS. if you are subscribing to the 'cancellation' narrative and rms apologists, I'd suggest you read the software freedom conservancy statement as well Andy's blog post

@Tlacaelel @gnome You need to read the definition of free software again and get your head out of the gutter.

Linked directly from the fsf site. https://www.fsf.org/about/
@Tlacaelel
Why not? Do you have a link to an explanation why or could it explain?
@gnome
@Tlacaelel @gnome FSF seems to consider Gnome Free Software at https://www.fsf.org/working-together/gang , not sure what you're getting at?
@gnome I support GNOME.

@gnome
These bas***ds will taste the footprint of free software.

@gnome Oh look, the patent troll is in Texas, a patent troll friendly jurisdiction. I'm sure it is a *totally legit* company and not a rent seeker.
@gnome
Donating would be much easier, if it listed *any* German bank. Or if we had the possibility to punch in a BIC.
@gnome Are you able to share the details of the claim, and your responses? I couldn't find a link on your site ... and didn't see anything in the Board minutes ...
