Final slides, I think.

They are very wordy, as noted.

<h3>Meanwhile, in Copyleft Land &hellip;</h3>
<span class="copious">
<p>In the late 1990s, it became obvious that the Free Software Foundation USA
(FSF USA) was not able to do every possible task for the toolchain
projects, which included:
<ul><li>Copyright Assignment</li>
<li>Appointing Maintainers of key GNU packages</li>
<li>Running all infrastructural servers for every GNU project</li>
<li>Licensing work (e.g., drafting new versions of the GPL)</li>
</ul>
</p>
</p>
<p>A compromise was reached, creating the Sourceware project (which years
later became an SFC member project).</p>

<h3>SourceWare is different</h3>
<span class="copious">
<p>Because the project was founded by developers who valued copyleft,
Sourceware remains always unwilling to allow for-profit interests influence
the hosting.</p>
<p>This resistance by individuals from allowing for-profit control continued
&mdash; even though Sourceware's physical servers physically reside in
donated rack space from Cygnus (then Red Hat and now IBM).</p>
<p>Sourceware is admittedly not the infrastructure of choice for folks who
don't do low-level C/C++ programming, but it does serve the needs of that
community well.</p>

<h3>There is some other hope as well!</h3>
<span class="copious">
<p>Please take a look at the Forejgo project, and the German-based
non-profit, Codeberg.</p>
<p>There are many other similar systems, we think Forejgo is strategic
because they have attempted to make the system <em>feature and interface
compatible</em> with GitHub, which as we saw in our survey at the start of
the talk is by-far the most popular proprietary hosting solutions used by
FOSS developers.</p>

## Final Slides
The remain slides are very wordy. I did start to feel my symptoms works
around 13:45 local, so while I'd sped up, I then slowed down. The slides
should probably be edited, the text of what's there placed here, and the
words on the slide should be less.
