@England Lives What are you even on about?

The current proprietary timeline is known to be the reality - working towards fixing such degeneracy, is very different to losing grasp on reality and thus completely giving up.

The FSF is not particularly lacking in funding and manpower - although it would of course be better to have more.

The GPLv3 development process was public and fixed many bugs in the GPLv2 and everyone who participated got what they wanted - even a business got the ability to digitally handcuff hardware and refuse to provide installation information in its commercial-only hardware as they wanted.

Unlike, the GPLv3, the GPLv2 forbids such scheme - you have to provide installation information no matter what; "For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable."

GNU sown more freedom by daring to write a more free license, with less freedom bugs, as the public wanted and people seriously complained about the more freedom that has been reaped?
