i agree on the transparency, it's something valuable.

my gripe is that the FSFE did much virtue signaling about how bad the FSF and RMS are while being anything but saints in the first place. paired with them draining money from the true FSF just by their very existence and usurping the name it is very questionable behavior.

i quote:

> That is why, as a legally and financially independent organisation, in which Richard Stallman has not had any decision-making powers, we call for his resignation from all FSF bodies. The FSF needs to seriously reflect on this decision as well as their decision-making process to prevent similar issues from happening again. Therefore, in the current situation we see ourselves unable to collaborate both with the FSF and any other organisation in which Richard Stallman has a leading position. Instead, we will continue to work with groups and individuals who foster diversity and equality in the Free Software movement in order to achieve our joint goal of empowering all users to control technology.

this of course was a lie. kirschner presented his book at libreplanet. seems that the events organized by the FSF aren't problematic all of a sudden if he can stand in the spotlight.

no apology to the FSF and RMS. not following through their own announcement of no collaboration.

there is a word for this: turncoat.
