RMS will certainly not groundless accusations GitHub, the cause of the matter is that a developer has released a theme of the GNU Mailing List " RMS: Perhaps you the Users Request Program HURD: They Fear at The path at The Linux Kernel IS going " mail, e-mail content is also some users on the forum 4chan statement was quoted to the effect that due to the current core Linux kernel developers are basically worked for major technology companies - can be considered the development of the Linux kernel and these technology companies are closely linked, for this reason some users worried about the future of the Linux kernel, the Linux kernel fear this road will take affect in the future, so they thought of RMS, and ask whether it can continue to HURD programming ( Hurd is GNU's own kernel), HURD stub is made to take advantage of a variety of free Linux kernel hardware drivers.
You can see a lot of users are supported and opposed HURD Linux projects, some of them think that Linux is bound too much, some people think that Linux is FOSS shame, some people think that Linux is becoming increasingly politicized, and finally they all agreed GNU HURD think should proceed with the rival Linux.
Initially these users still discussion around the Linux kernel, HURD and RMS, but later chatted away, digressed Microsoft, in turn go on GitHub ......
先是一名用户认为微软从“开源”中获益甚多，但它并没有提到自由软件，反而是在尽可能摆脱和自由软件的关系，例如微软没有提到过 GNU 和 FSF，而是一直在宣扬“开源”这个概念。然后跟帖的邮件也有不少人同意这种说法，接着一名用户的“Killing GitHub would actually help Free Software”发言引起了 RMS 的关注。
RMS 开始谈起了了他对 GitHub 的看法，他认为 GitHub 的政策对开源软件许可证的态度十分草率（上面充斥了大量无许可证、许可证不明确或者只有一个 GPL 版本的项目），并因此对自由软件社区造成了严重的伤害。他还认为，一直以来 GitHub 对自由软件而言都非常糟糕，他甚至可以想象被微软收购后将会变得更糟糕。
最后 Apple 也躺枪了，RMS 表示这方面苹果公司比微软还糟糕。
BTW，RMS 前不久还受邀在微软进行了演讲，并提到微软的开源贡献其实对于“自由世界”毫无建树。
