free from working correctly? free to do extra work to get things functioning? stupid change for the worse for purely political reasons

What do they say, for example, and where?
Hunter Roberts
The thing about binary blobs is that we cannot make things work correctly when they fail. This is because unauthorized developers (pretty much everybody in the world) are forbidden to access the code to those binary blobs.

Here, they lie about Linux:
linuxfoundation.org
Linux is nothing more than a kernel that was started in 1991. GNU was started in 1984. If something "jumpstarted Linux" (GNU/Linux), it was the effort to create a fully free operating system - GNU. Actually he even mentions GNU in his mail.

You know.. it's possible that GNU was stagnet even then. basically no devs and everyone gave up making the kernel
RMS himself said they had lots of issues making the hurd because of the intentionally chaotic way they decided to structure it.
Linux took over development because it was retarded and actually worked.
Caleb Hall
The Hurd is a different thing and I'm not talking about it in this case. I'm talking about all components that had been ready - libc, bash, gcc, etc. Still talking about jumpstarting Linux as the whole OS, by the kernel is a lie.
Ryan Hughes
Thank you for actually answering my retarded question, as I asked before even finishing your post (you already mentioned it right after that).
Yes, I agree. Saying that the development of the Linux kernel "jump-started" whatever the fuck they mean as "Linux as a whole" is just flat out false. Most of the other components already existed long before Linux was even started.

This is fucking cancer. I see this shit everytime I do anything whatsofuckingever. I don't give a fuck what the licenses are. Linux is so cucked they care about some made up rules in some random country. Yes, I give a fuck about having blobs installed, but UNIX is such braindamaged shit that I will never get around to addressing that issue among the 20 layers of other issues.

I see a PEBCAK issue here.
