[FSF] Another email of text to translate

There isn't much left after this


### Fall 2012: Photos from ICT Goes International, in Helsinki

On November 6th, RMS was in Helsinki, Finland, at Haaga-Helia
University of Applied Sciences to deliver a couple of speeches to some
250 teachers and students, including a how-to for beginning
contributing to a free software project and doing a good job.

### MediaGoblin crowdfunding campaign: huge success!

FIXME: Ready to translate

*From November 12*

Chris Webber of MediaGoblin writes "This is no small accomplishment
and we should feel proud of it... we deserve to feel proud of it!

"So you are probably wondering! What exactly did you all finance? How
can you expect this set of money to be used? Well, let me tell you!
Basically: you have bought a year (plus a couple bonus months,
actually) of me working on MediaGoblin fulltime!"

### Left wondering why VLC relicensed to LGPL

*From November 22nd*

FSF board member Bradley Kuhn asks "Do they want proprietary
application interfaces that use their core libraries? If so, I'm left
wondering why: VLC is already so popular that they could pull adopters
toward software freedom by using the strong copyleft of GPL. It seems
to me they're making a bad trade-off to get only marginally more
popular by allowing some proprietary derivatives."

### Good “End Software Patents” video – not by us

*From November 28th*

There’s a good anti-software-patent video on YouTube (in WebM video
format). Despite the name it has no connection to the End Software
Patents campaign, but it’s a very good two-minute video explaining
some of the problems of software patents.

* <http://news.swpat.org/2012/11/good-end-software-patents-video-not-by-us/>

To download the video directly without using YouTube's nonfree
JavaScript, install youtube-dl and run this command:

youtube-dl "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkWPGwfuQcM&webm=1"; -o
end_software_patents.webm -f 45
