The people that dislike the FSF tend to be those that want to be
allowed to use other people's software in their own closed source
projects and not share or give back.
The FSF's job is political activism. Our Foundation's job is to
facilitate the development of open architecture hardware. That is,
theirs is to debate, and ours is to build stuff. I love philosophy as
much as anything, but we need to be clear about our intentions, and
that means being clear in our name. If the name means something (what
the hell does "Traversal Technology" mean?), make sure that it means
what you want it to mean and attracts the right sort of attention.
