#Microsoft is attacking the Free Software Foundation mainly by trying to smear Stallman.

While the article lists the Free Software Foundation Europe (#FSFE) as a Microsoft front group, people should be aware of other groups are also fronts for #BigTech, like the #LinuxFoundation and the #OpenSourceInitiative (#OSI).
@ubersoft ...if the bad behavior exists. (or maybe we should say, if malice exists.)
@lwriemen hmm. I can certainly believe that Microsoft is trying to capitalize on this, but the attacks on Stallman (and on the FSF for defending him) seem like fair game to me. Stallman's ideas and contributions to free software are important but they don't absolve him of bad behavior.
