That means a group of people are free to cooperate when they all want to cooperate. But that is not the precise requirement. That is a consequence of the requirements. The precise requirement is that users be free to make and distribute copies of their modified versions as free software. Those Russian have a moral right to distribute copies of their modified versions of Linux. But they have no moral right to demand that the Linux developers _use_ those changes. Whether you use someone else's changes should be up to you. -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
