Imagine what GNU could do if they had just a fraction of the donations LF receives.

Publish more rants telling people to stop using all software and services they enjoy? Fork already-free software to be more free? Rewrite popular BSD-licensed software as GPLv3?

Perhaps we could finally get good, affordable hardware that respects our freedoms.

The way to get freedom-respecting hardware is to build something 80% free, then invest the profits into a second generation that's 90% free, then 95%, etc. Companies like Purism are doing this but the FSF isn't willing to compromise so they make no progress.
