We Need to Talk More About GNU

The real aim is Software Freedom

The Linux kernel is increasingly leaning towards cargo cults like slop.

The issue isn’t how Linux is developed per se. It’s a matter of trust. As it stands at the moment, Linux promotes all sorts of lockdown mechanisms that go against the goals of GNU.

We need to talk more about GNU in order for the GNU Project’s philosophy to be widely understood and broadly appreciated.

“Free software” as a term is OK. If it helps, “Software Freedom” helps emphasise it is about freedom.
