GNOME is part of the GNU project and supports the goals of the GNU project as defined by the Free Software Foundation. Free software licensing has always been a mainstay of GNOME, and we must ensure that this tradition continues. GNOME will include only Free software.
From the GNOME Foundation Charter.
About Me
I’m a member of some organizations. When an organization interests me, I take the time to educate myself about them and then I follow a very complex decision tree:
If I like and understand the organization’s reason for existence, then I consider contributing.
Else, I just stay away.
I know that is just the sort of irrational and illogical craziness we zealots engage in, so read it a few times if it’s not clear.
Not About Me
You know what I don’t do? Join an organziation whose Charter I don’t agree with and then do my goddamn dead level best to disrupt and insult people that do.
