و اندر احوالات نرم افزار آزاد

امروز داشتم قسمت چهارم از فصل دوم پادکست Tuxradar را گوش می کردم. یکی از بهترین قسمت های این پادکست. در قسمت نظر خواهی این سوال مطرح شده بود که آیا حاضر هستید Free Software Foundation را به عنوان روابط عمومی لینوکس استخدام کنید؟ یا به عبارت دیگر آیا به نظر شما FSF نماینده مناسبی برای لینوکس است؟

جواب کاربران بسیار جالب بود و همچنین بحثی که بعد از آن اعضای تیم پادکست مطرح کردند. با اینکه لهجه بریتانیایی غلیظی داشتن تمام سعی ام را کردم که جمله ها را کامل اینجا بیاورم. اگر چیزی از تو افتاده کامنت بگذارید.
The Free Software Foundation is speaking about the closed nature of the iPod and fair enough, there are issues to be raised there but a lot of the time in their materials its like a real rant. the windows seven sins document. Yeah Windows 7 Sins! It poisons education. It's such loaded terms.
The best way you gonna convert people, if the Free Software Foundation could say O.K. look the iPad locked down and is DRM but look! There is an alternative. There is another tablet. But just telling people something's bad and not giving them another option and bad in that kind of language as well.
And what's the little laptop that Stallman uses? It is quite underpowerd nasty thing that isn't actually that good. He uses it because it totally free across the board. All free firmware and .. and if we all wanted to follow his example we'd all have crappy little laptops, netbook things using foreign chips and I don't wanna be there quite frankly. I'm comfortable quite where I am right now.
و این هم کامنت یکی از خوانندگان در سایت Tuxradar که کاملا باهاش موافقم:
In my opinion, the Free Software Foundation wouldn't make a good Linux PR department because they concentrate far too much on the philosophy behind Free Software. This is no bad thing in itsself, but isn't appropriate for modern-day OSS. I think companies like Novell and Canonical are best suited to this role.
