[Fsfe-france] Structure internationale de la FSF

[Vincent Caron]

Il semble que ça échappe à pas mal de monde, et on est bien placé pour 
savoir à quel point :). Je suis tombé là dessus :

"I have a little trouble grokking FSF's international structure.

On FOSDEM, FSF Europe was present, as well as RMS. While the FSFE was 
doing its own campaign, RMS was handing "FSF Associate Membership 
Sign-up" cards, with all the numbers in dollars on it and the address in 
Boston.

While Free Software is an international thing, I'd like to see some kind 
of representation back from where the funds came. For instance, spending 
high $$ on fighting American law structures is just so-and-so relevant 
to me, as long as the Netherlands/ Europe have their own situation.

I think that if the FSF would be willing to accept international 
donations in general, it should also take some time to explain how it 
benefits people outside of America (or how it doesn't, I don't care if 
it advertises well, but I'd like to get the picture), and how a donation 
to the American "chapter" affects the FSF Europe or another local chapter.

OTOH, if the FSF wants Europeans to become a member of the FSF Europe 
instead, to better support that organisation and local issues, they 
should also make that clear."
