From a mail from Richard Stallman in a flame about the use or miss-use of the planet Gnome (right now under maintenance).
It sounds reasonable for me, but at the same time I can’t avoid thinking Stallman wants to think by me: not present non-free software as a good or legitimate thing. Thanks, but I can’t distinguish what’s good from what’s not.
Anyway, this isn’t interesting per se but because someone has suggested to split from the GNU project (Gnome it’s part of the GNU project, something I’ve never understood… being part of GNU it’s cool besides allowing you to put the GNU in front the name of your project? Excuse my ignorance).
I think this is just a heated discussion (call it a flame if you want to), and I don’t think the GNU Network Object Model Environment will have to change it’s name because splitting from the GNU project, although I admit it would be curious after KDE not being K Desktop Environment anymore but KDE Plasma Desktop (?).
Damn, I’m getting old.
