Now we are facing an unprecedented growth of AI as a whole. Do you think is time for FSF elaborate a new version of GPL to incorporate the new challenges of AI in software development to keep protecting users freedom?

I think if we want a GPLv4, it should not be made by the FSF.
But ironically they are the “owner” of the license, anyone can’t modify it
The GPL is a license made by the FSF, not sure who else could make a new version other than them. Other entities make their own licenses, which might or not be compatible with the GPL.
Why is that, out of curiosity?
The FSF is a non-working organization which refuses to let go of its horrible founder. I hoped it would move on, it didn’t and refused to despite massive amounts of community backlash. I no longer believe they should have any role in representing the Free Software movement.
I really like Stallman, the man that made me think about the importance of free software. In my opinion he is essential for free software movement even with some “controversial” ideas. I like the way he defends his ideas, is something rare nowadays.
I mean, I think his ideas on free software are good generally but his behaviour and opinions on other topics are pretty fucking terrible. I don’t understand why people want to defend that part. The FSF can function without him and defend the ideas of Free Software.
Indeed, his ideas are often very controversial, he is a old man with old habits and I think he has some deficiency in the way he communicates with people that are contrary to his ideas and this fact makes everything even worse. I don’t know what will be with FSF after him for good and bad.
Some of his ideas are very harmful and he is an abuser. I don’t know what to tell you.
