You know you're in for a perfectly rational discussion when someone uses the phrase "cis gendered white men" to discredit them.

This whole thing explains why things like trademark law exists: It codifies who "owns" a thing, and who is merely a derivative of it. If someone owned the libreboot trademark, there could not exist a state where GNU claims it owns libreboot, and Leah claims she owns libreboot. It would simply be whoever owned it, and then the other party would be free to fork.

Why would they "let go" of libreboot over this sort of behavior?

And here i always had relativley decent views of GNU/FSF but their douchey white boy shit has outgrown it’s place. Perhaps GNU/FSF needs new administration!
