Dear all

I fully agree with Pjotr.

My feeling is also that the difference of culture between US and Europe is interfering.

Free software is related to values, while open-source is interested with gains & benefits, for example money. What we see here also is that for people who have not been educated to values (like too many American people who are eg republicans today, but not only) are mixing things up and cannot behave.

While we need money, also in the free and open-source world, too often money and property altogether pervert people.

Please fellow American people, be moderate and well-behaved, do not believe that it is possible to buy everything and also reject institutions the minutes after. Change your world (and the importance of money, as Lawrence Lessig tried to do), and do not try to impose everywhere your views.

Europe will never be the US and we can manage ourselves, we have done for thousands of years.

Thanks,

Nicolas

This list is for organising FOSDEM 2021. While I sympathise with some
of the ideas and sentiments, I don't think it should be discussed on
this mailing list. Maybe the organizers can set up a FOSDEM policy
mailing list for this type of discussion, people take it there, and we
stop the thread where it is now on this list?

Thanks.
