     Don't we in Massachusetts have such a law on the books? I seem to remember voting for it, but, you know what can happen to initiatives in this state... Seems a timely development, given the theme of this year's #libreplanet

      @fsf Hey, FSF, while I'm sure you value transparency and accounting, aren't you simply required by law to publish your financials if you want to remain a 503(c) charity?

      I mean, I know you guys are good and all, but it sounds a bit odd to say how great you are for doing something I think you're legally required to do.

    Users have the right to control their own 3D printers. The use of technical protection measures in order to lock users into purchasing particular feedstock is a gross abuse that goes far beyond the purposes of copyright law. https://u.fsf.org/2hu
