The FSFвЂ™s stance as usual, is to broaden the scope of the problem until it can support a nearly-lukewarm plan of action (if any at all). On the contrary - the GNU project has made little known effort (from the top or otherwise) to move away from GitHub since the acquisition. GitHub activity by GNU developers (not all of them, as far as we know) has not ceased since the purchase of GitHub more than a year ago. It also shows, beyond a shadow of a doubt, I think - that too many GNU developers are apathetic about the fact that Microsoft now controls GitHub.

Whatever your feelings on that are, a stated goal of the research in this series was to figure out what it would take to produce a GitHub-free software distribution - as a protest, thought experiment and illustration of the amount of leverage Microsoft has gained. But when the dependencies all depend on Microsoft GitHub, that should give serious pause. вЂњToo much depends on too much else, and the only вЂњfreedomвЂќ will come from forking projects and making them optional again.вЂќNo one calling for this modularity assumes that there wonвЂ™t be dependencies in software that is a straw man. Too much depends on too much else, and the only вЂњfreedomвЂќ will come from forking projects and making them optional again. Free software built its legacy on this de facto freedom, but today people call for it to receive more official attention because this freedom is being put aside. In the past, the freedom to NOT run the software was a de facto reality for the most part (within reason). Yes, you have the four freedoms, BUT youвЂ™re expected to do what we tell you? The attitudes of some contemporary free software developers have nothing to do with user freedom.

A free license is the most significant step towards software freedom by far, but if users are expected to kowtow to the wishes of developers, then we find ourselves building a movement of вЂњfree in license onlyвЂќ. The essence of software disobedience is to not let developers dictate the actions of the user. Summary: The concluding part of this series about GNU becoming dependent on a proprietary software trap of Microsoft (see the first four parts )Д©9% of the time, letting Microsoft have influence or control over your software is a negative - and thatвЂ™s being generous.
