●● [Meme] IBM is NOT a Friend of Free Software


Posted in Free/Libre Software, FSF, IBM, Red Hat at 5:53 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz


“IBM is proud of its patent portfolio, and the fact that they produce patents at a rate of 10 a day. With such an extensive arsenal of patents, backed by unlimited legal funds – what chances are left for the VC backed company? This is like the US going to war against Micronesia.” —Daniel Cohen

Torvalds was sidelined by IBM-connected media around the time IBM had put a bid on Red Hat

All the latest changes to the anti-RMS letter


Summary: People must not forget the role played by IBM in the attacks on the FSF (they still try to take away copyrights from the FSF; many of the 'GNU rebels' or coup leaders are IBM employees, both in 2019 and in 2021)
