I checked this link about a month show. I hoped they’d have reached their goal by now.

As programmers, it is important to field support for Free Software.

It's almost as if they did something really shitty that put off potential donors...

Agreed. I think there’s a way to support the FSF’s mission while disapproving of and pushing against the leadership. What compounds this is that there are no direct alternatives to the FSF. The EFF comes close, but it’s different.

It’s a close call, to be sure.

I would (and have) contributed to the EFF as an alternative to the FSF.
