Free Software is not only GNU

“I don’t try to hide the fact that I think that
FSF’s continuous stress over “GNU/Linux” is a
huge ego stroke toward GNU that tries to deny that there is other
Free Software beside GNU. But even considering this I don’t
usually take stance against GNU for the sake of it. I disagree with
some of the ways of Free Software Foundation (the original one),
and I have said that I like Free Software Foundation Europe better
(because they take positive approaches toward Free Software rather
than negative approaches toward proprietary software), yet I
don’t think this should deem me a bad person for what
concerns Free Software.

“And those who could still doubt of my caring for Free Software
against proprietary software can take a look at my Ohloh page
— keeping in mind that Ohloh only tracks assigned commits,
and thus does not count most of the patches sent around the world
of Free Software, where DVCS are not used, and thus are committed
without my direct attribution. You thus only have my own word that
there are many of those, as well.”
