	Free Software Foundation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Free Software Foundation (FSF) is a non-profit organization founded in October 1985 by Richard Stallman to support the free software movement (free as in freedom), and in particular the GNU project.
		The original purpose of the FSF was to promote the ideals of free software but the organization was also charged with developing the GNU operating system.
		FSF has the resources and the will to enforce the GPL and other GNU licenses, but only for software for which it owns the copyrights; GPL'd software owned by others must be defended by its owners, since the FSF has no legal standing to enforce the GPL for them.

	Financial Stability Forum holds its sixth meeting (BIS Press Releases 7 Sep 2001) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The FSF welcomed the development of such guidance, noting that it had drawn on an extensive consultative process and would be adaptable to a broad range of country circumstances, settings and structures.
		FSF members considered that it would be particularly useful when moving from a situation where there may be an implicit or blanket guarantee to a system of explicit limited coverage.
		FSF members highlighted a number of potential issues related to the increased use of mechanisms for risk transfer, including across financial sectors, and looked forward to the conclusions from the comprehensive work set in train by members to explore further the supervisory and systemic implications of these financial market innovations.

	FSF reviews vulnerabilities and efforts to strengthen the international financial system (BIS Press Releases 4 Sep 2002)
		Given the international dimensions of the problems and their remedies, FSF members also underscored the importance of international and cross-sectoral consultations to ensure that these efforts are based on high level principles that are coherent across countries.
		The FSF calls upon national and international standard setters to accelerate their efforts at developing more comparable, accurate and transparent ways of accounting for these in financial statements; to improve international accounting standards; and to bring about greater international convergence on principles-based standards.
		The FSF welcomes the principles on auditor independence and audit profession oversight that are being formulated by the International Organisation of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) and looks forward to their early approval and publication.

	stepping in between Debian and FSF
		FSF and Debian folks, Both sides of this argument are wrong, and tempers are too high for you to resolve this by yourselves.
		FSF, a Free Software organization, isn't being entirely true to the the Free Software ethos while it is promoting a license that allows invariant sections to be applied to anything but the license text and attribution.
		FSF, in turn, should assert that documentation is an essential component of Free Software, and that it must be under essentially the same terms as the software that it is associated with.

	FSF Announces Corporate Patronage Program
		FSF's Corporate Patrons can display the Patronage logo on their materials and website, will be listed on FSF's Corporate Patronage website (http://patron.fsf.org/), will receive two free hours of consulting from FSF's GPL Compliance Lab, and will receive two complementary passes to FSF-sponsored seminars.
		I'd like to think that it is also to support the FSF defence of the GPL (one of their primary activities these days), and their political work even if they don't agree with everything the FSF do.
		The FSF has a lot less money than they once did--those mainframe tape sales and occasional dotcom donations are gone--but they appear to be doing their best with what remains.

		The FSF is not the same thing as the GNU project; while the GNU folks are busy writing software and trying to get past that pesky HURD 2GB filesystem limit, the FSF is working on the broader free software picture.
		The FSF has been the champion of the GPL since the beginning, and is an obvious focal point for GPL enforcement efforts.
		But the FSF may want to consider creating consulting and enforcement services that can be sold to companies that depend on respect for the terms of the GPL.

		The Free Software Foundation (FSF) was founded in 1983 along with its demonstration GNU project.
		Taking this idea to the group level, Stallman and others created the FSF and set out to demonstrate that an entire operating system could be developed and shared freely.
		The result was the Unix-like GNU, which, in August 1996, became complete by adding a kernel.

		The Boston-based FSF opposes the use of software patents and believes they are a "harmful government policy of creating monopolies that restrict computer users," the group said in its statement.
		According to the FSF, the idea is not patentable because it has been used before.
		Because the FSF is not a copyright holder of Linux, it cannot enforce the GPL, but the organization may choose to support efforts to invalidate the patent and uphold the GPL, it said.

		It seems to me that without widespread public support of the FSF, judges and legislatures will tend to support the big corporate interests that (in the case of the legislators) pay for their campaigns in any conflict, such as a GPL violation case or software laws.
		I agree with many of the FSF's goals, but arguing that the welfare of a group of people is irrelevant just because that group is a minority betrays a very ugly mindset.
		I applaud the FSF and all Free Software developers who have donated their time to the community and have worked to create the wonderful variety of Free software that is available today.
