My user name was originally going to just be F4rt but adding emperor to user names to sound more impressive is all the rage now so here we are.

  • As far as I know the goal of Debian is not to attract the most users but a certain set of values.

    The Debian Free Software Guidelines explicitly prohibits discrimination of the people who use their software regardless as to what their values are. They are writing software in the public interest which presumably means that they want the public to use it. Other than ensuring those who use the software are abiding by the license it’s licensed under there is nothing the project can do in terms of selecting who uses it.

    If RMS is incompatible with these values

    The values of free software? I think over the course of his entire life he’s demonstrated that he’s entirely committed.

    Debian is political

    I agree, but the only politics that really matter are those of computing freedom for all.
