Ring, officially a GNU package
What&#x27;s the advantage of being a GNU project these days? It seems like it ties you very strongly to the FSF&#x27;s political opinions and in particular Richard Stallman&#x27;s political opinions (e.g., eugenics) and restricts your technical decision-making options (e.g., limited plugin architecture, limited support for non-free OSes, mandatory support for things like GNUTLS), while not giving you very much in return - with the existence of GitHub and a wide variety of competitors, it&#x27;s pretty easy to attract a healthy development community independent of GNU. What am I missing?
