Like it or not, if you take their money, you serve their goals. Compare, for example, <a href="https://snac.tesio.it?t=fsf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FSF</a> sponsors with <a href="https://snac.tesio.it?t=fsfe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FSFE</a> (!) or <a href="https://snac.tesio.it?t=softwareheritage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SoftwareHeritage</a> (that in turn is a sponsor of <a href="https://snac.tesio.it?t=guix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Guix</a>), to get an idea of why groups that pretend to advance <a href="https://snac.tesio.it?t=freesoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FreeSoftware</a> did (and do) their best to destroy the <a href="https://snac.tesio.it?t=gnu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GNU</a> project. <a href="https://mastodon.social/users/ekaitz_zarraga" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@ekaitz_zarraga@mastodon.social</a>

Giacomo Tesio<a href="https://mastodon.social/users/ekaitz_zarraga" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@ekaitz_zarraga@mastodon.social</a> Indeed if you were leading <a href="https://snac.tesio.it?t=guix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Guix</a>, I'd likely be a user and contributor (I think you know I have the technical skills required). And I also know other people working there, people I respect despite not being always aligned with their opinion (for example I had a long debate with a friend that work on Guix a few months ago about the right to be mentioned with the preferred name by a transitioned trans developer whose code was archived with their dead-name and <a href="https://snac.tesio.it?t=softwareheritage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SoftwareHeritage</a> was refusing to update. I think hackers have the right to be named as they wish in their works and no script, tool or hash chain matter more than this right). Yet there's a huge difference between a technical or even philosophical argument and a (politically motivated) personal attack in form of a shitstorm. Courtès might even be the best <a href="https://snac.tesio.it?t=scheme" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#scheme</a> hacker out there, with a solid architectural vision of how to make <a href="https://snac.tesio.it?t=linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#linux</a> more reliable. But I chose free software for political goals that he actively damaged with that attack to RMS.
