Software Freedom Conservancy, a not-for-profit organization that provides support and legal services for open source software projects, has called on the open source community to ditch GitHub after quitting the code-hosting and collaboration platform itself. "We will prevail, in peace and freedom from fear, and in true health, through the purity and essence of our natural..."
I kept reading the organization's name, and wondered why does the San Francisco Conservancy worry about this?

Are they for software that is unencumbered by honorous licenses?

I think it's pretty clear from the paragraph quoted below:
Quote: Software Freedom Conservancy is financially backed by a number of big-name companies, such as Google, Red Hat and Mozilla, and its members span more than 40 projects, including Git (which GitHub relies heavily on), Selenium and Godot.
The difficult we do right away...

Go for it. But I can't compete with you except for a very limited subset of topics. Your range of quotes exposes my crappy memory banks for being an empty shell, comparatively speaking. And you may possibly be more sarcastic than me. Maybe.

The case was initially filed in 2020 when the plaintiffs accused Google of anti-competitive practices with the 30% fee Google takes on in-app purchases on its Google Play Store. So about three hours revenue? Seems fair and equitable.
