1. Bradley M. Kuhn disturbing , Richard Fontana

   I introduced @fontana's #lfcollab Legal Track talk as being non-disturbing, but he corrected me to say it *would* be !disturbing.

     So weird: @fontana's first slide in his #lfcollab talk is all about me & this blog post I made about !Debian, !Ubuntu & !Fedora: ur1.ca/jtms

     #lfcollab: @fontana makes interesting point that early software (old MIT days) as the only true "nonproprietary" software sharing system.

     @fontana reminds us at #lfcollab that !GNU Manifesto deals a lot w/ how !FaiF Software is completely compatible w/ many business models.

     #lfcollab: @fontana says many of the relationships between companies in !FaiF software have great variability in level of transparency.

     #lfcollab: @fontana considers it'd be corrupt sponsorship of Art if #Microsoft commissioned painting of #Balmer that was overly flattering.

     #lfcollab @fontana now talking about GE/NBC relationship. I'm somewhat surprised he hasn't mentioned _The Media Monopoly_ in this context.

     #lfcollab: @fontana's unsure if Art-sponsorship corruption analogizes perfectly to !FaiF software,but perhaps it does & should be considered

     At #lfcollab, @fontana points out that corporate !FaiF software "sponsors" sometimes downplay & sometimes exaggerate their involvement.

     At #lfcollab, @fontana considers:"Does a project have an obligation to represent the interests of its user, developer or license community?"

     #lfcollab: @fontana: "Conflicts of interest" often lurk in background of controversies in !FaiF software community,but often aren't explicit

     #lfcollab: @fontana says proprietary relicensing is "not a legitimate thing";Great to hear him say so! He'll find it !disturbing I dented it

   • Bradley M. Kuhn Richard Fontana

     At #lfcollab, @fontana questions the value of mere "throw it over the wall". Just the "code always being there" is not really enough in end.

     #lfcollab: @fontana insisted I hand him his !coffee before he started speaking, but podium is slanted & he's had nowhere to put it down now!

   • Bradley M. Kuhn Free Software & Culture Group , Richard Fontana

     #lfcollab: @fontana ponders whether non-profit governance should be normative for keeping transparency for !FaiF software projects.

     #lfcollab: @fontana argues NPOs *are* corruptable by donors/sponsors, so it may not solve. Also, he notes ∃ transaction costs to start them.

     #FaiFCast 0x0E is out, a bit late (my fault). @methoddan did an excellent job on editing; no annoying buzz. & @fontana is fun to listen to!

     @bkuhn Glad you liked how @fontana's audio came out. Got rid of most of the buzz in the end :)

     @bkuhn No problem, I needed to boost some of the audio but luckily it didn't add too much background noise. Hope your voice is better.
