But who does actually care ? Hobists, enthusiasts ? Maybe some, not all of them. Corporations involved with Linux ? Not likely. Common people using computers (mostly Microsoft products) ? I don't think so....
Who then ?
FSF always proudly says "we" as if there is an army of people out there. Latest anti-DRM protest gathered only a handfull of activists, and they met cold reception. Who is "we" ?
Or shall we look at the most relevant projects ?
Apache - apache license Tomcat - Apache license Mozilla - MPL OpenOffice/Staroffice - dual MySQL - dual PostgreSQL - BSD Sndmail - BSD Blackdown Java - Sun license PHP - special license Python - special license since 2.0 QT - dual KDE - dual Gnome - GPL v2 or later Linux kernel - GPL v2 and not later
So, who is "we" ? How many are "we" ? What means have "we" on their disposal to achieve their goals ?
