Revision as of 03:56, 1 November 2011
Like most pages on LibrePlanet, this page is not written by FSF. It is a brainstorming page made by an interested outsider. The same is true for almost all pages on this wiki, but since this topic is getting some media attention and might be seen by people unfamiliar with LibrePlanet, I thought it was worth making this explicit.
Goals of this page
- Analyse the problem
- Discuss possible policies
- Establish FSF's current policy
- Make suggestions, if necessary, for how FSF's policy could be improved, clarified, or better explained
