    Not to discredit the message based on the messenger, but why would anyone publish something like that on fucking GitHub of all places? Do they want people to not read it? Are they even part of this community that cares about software freedom? Just what in the fuck was the thought process here?

      Signing it requires making a PR, and people in support of this letter most likely have a github account already.

        lol, I didn’t release at the beginning. funny.

        However, seems like both letters were posted on github. Agh… btw, would I be wrong if I said github could arbitrarily remove any of the letters with the justification that it breaks their code of conduct or something similar?

          Nothing false about what you said but the people that don’t want to use GitHub will probably not like using email to perform PRs, taking into account that, although they are not using their proprietary code, they are still promoting and making use of a privative cloud service.
