If you have been waiting to give but just haven't found the time, now is your time! **You** could help us achieve our goal https://u.fsf.org/3m4 Today's the day! Today, July 8 at 16:00 EDT (20:00 UTC), we are hosting a "Mastodon Hour," where the campaigns team will be making ourselves available to discuss certain topics in real time.

"The FSF's role is to bring every conversation back to this logic of user freedom, to remind us that the tools we use are not benign."- Zoë Kooyman, executive director | Read more at: https://u.fsf.org/3mi @osdc "If someone steals a CD containing a version of a GPL-covered program, does the GPL give the thief the right to redistribute that version?" The answer is somewhat complicated. Read the full answer at https://u.fsf.org/3kv  @fsf Your answer to that question is quite misleading. First, if one's acquisition of the licence (text) is illegal, then one is not a legal licensee in the first place, regardless of where the source code has been published. Second, whether the thief is allowed to re-distribute the work does not depend on whether he is imprisoned or not. He either is allowed or he isn't, but a prison sentence doesn't change that.

@fsf Still find it weird that the name is based on the specific platform you're on, rather than the name of the network. Like, people from Pleroma, Misskey, etc... aren't going to see anything related to Mastodon.  @fsf That is in exactly (minus 5 minutes because of this post) 1 day from today! I'll be there as I always am!  We are precisely 76.8686567 percent of the way to our goal! (Go ahead and do the math yourself to double-check -- hehe.) But seriously, the fundraiser ends tomorrow, July 8.
