*In the Absence of Richard Stallman OEM Source Software (‘Open Source’)
is Trying to Hijack Even Emacs*
In 1983 an unknown (at the time) person began the Free software movement
— a movement by which to free users from the software chaining them with
corrupt copyright laws. He and his group, the Free Software Foundation,
worked for decades to turn the idea into reality. Now millions of people
are using their software without knowing it or while wrongly naming it.
The idea or the concept of users’ freedom is a dangerous one to the
ruling class, the 1%. So they want the users controlled; they should be
contained. They came up with a new name for an old idea. That was the
OEM Source Software (“Open Source”). Of course they got more media
coverage, that’s because of some rather obvious reasons.
It’s like old child labour or a slavery issue. When there were protests
to end child labour or slavery the businesspeople were crying that the
economy would crash etc. But now if you ask them, they will scratch
their heads and ask, “what is slavery or child labour?” Now they are
advocates of slavery-free, child labour-free workplace. At the same time
they’ve implemented the 13th amendment and offshored the work to Bangladesh.
So, coming to our issue, you have the original team, the Free software
team, which is for users’ freedom and the new team, OSS, which is for… I
don’t know… they say words like “community” and “open” etc but actually
it’s for the corporate profits.
For 2 decades things went on as they did. But now a major
blow/misfortune happened to the Free software movement. Its founder is
charged with a thought-crime. The thought-police initiated a digital
lynch mob to justify his firing from his own organisation. So he is out.
At the same time this OSS bunch thinks that they are the only people
with a voice. All others will be silent because of fear of thought-crime
charges, an effective censorship mechanism. So the empire is ready. Now
they have to create some fictional history. No need to worry. Lots of
existing successful achievements of Free software are there. So take it
and rebrand it, right?
Yes, that’s already happening. On 4 Oct 2019 Joshua Allen Holm
(Community Moderator), Mike Bursell (Red Hat, Community Moderator),
Lauren Pritchett (Red Hat) and Don Watkins (Community Moderator) wrote
an article. In that article they rebranded a lot of Free software as
theirs. The worst thing in their list was some software called emacs —
the first true Free software that appeared on this planet and was
written by the same Richard Stallman.
This is how history is created by the ruling class. the question is
whether you accept it or not. Will you let it happen? Let all
freedom-loving people be united and end this crazy unethical takeover of
Free software.
