   When are the GPL proponents going to start boycotting every project with a CLA?

     @feld That's a core free software principle, if the CLA beneficiary is corporate. Conservancy and bkuhn criticized it a decade ago.

     @feld Fontana made Red Hat get rid of CLAs a decade ago and has kept criticizing them.

     @feld A project with a corporate CLA can never be a community project and "everybody" knows this. Canonical failed to get community involvement in their GPL projects because they refused to give up their CLA.
     
     Who are these GPL proponents who volunteer code to projects with CLAs? Who are you calling out?

     @clacke we need a bigger movement than this, though. Not enough people paying attention.
