I thought Bradley’s 2018 “state of the copyleft union“ talk at LibrePlanet was a rare and important bit of positive constructive criticism for free/libre software. Sadly, it was met with mixed reactions from the audience- including RMS who apparently saw it as defeatist, because he yelled “We’re not licked yet!!” and then stormed the stage to give an impromptu rebuttal. I don’t have much context for other contributions from Bradley, but that one talk was a breath of fresh air and levelheadedness. (Bradly, do you know the whereabouts of that talk, the notes, or dare I imagine, the video?) I think the FSF chose not to make that one available. Danny, thank you also for speaking in favor of constructive criticism. No movement can survive an allergy to discussion -- especially the discussion of problems and challenges -- such as all too sadly been happening on this list lately. The assumption that any discussion of tactics, or how the free software movement might respond to changes in society or changes in the industry is necessarily a smear campaign by Microsoft/Facebook/Etc has been extremely tiresome.
