Hi Virgil,
There are some facts that are incorrect in your email.
1. FSFE is not a 'business', its a charity. This is a legal designation. From the FSFE; "Free Software Foundation Europe is a charity that empowers users to control technology."
2. The staff are not de-facto 'shareholders', there are no shares to hold. Some are volunteers.
3. FSFE calls their members 'fellows', there are many more fellows than 20.
It says fellows never were members, there are no more fellows, sorry

we were fooled
9 staff can make meeting in Berlin and delete fellows from the constitution? That is charity?
All my friends stop with FSFE now
