This small team also provides critical services to the #GNU System, like email, build servers, release hosting, bug tracking, Git hosting, and servers to various free software projects.

#GNU and the #FSF have been fighting for copyleft the past decades. But if you look at their financial statement, you’ll see that their paid staff are just a dozen people. All the others are volunteers.

The Tor project alone has more employees than the FSF. Github has almost 6000 employees. Six thousand.

So the advocates for #copyleft must be us. We can’t point at the FSF and say “they didn’t do it”. They provide resources. We have to use them to protect our freedom as users.
