Exposed: FSFE, Legal & Licensing Workshop (LLW), Legal Network & Modern Slavery
Yet the FSFE is simply a facade for a bunch of highly paid corporate lawyers who are freeloading.
Using a non-profit organization to recruit unpaid labour in this manner is far worse than astroturfing, it puts FSFE and the lawyers into the domain of modern slavery.
Not only are the Legal Network participants freeloading, some of them are even plotting against the very principles and philosophy that encouraged people to donate or volunteer in the first place. In the third email below from Max Mehl, we can see that LLW / Legal Network participants see the GPL as an inconvenience. This is the mindset of people who want to obfuscate code so we can't see what the code is really doing.
