So the only ones who could actually go after them to force anything are the ones who originally wrote that GPL code

Not necessarily, the SFC is involved in a big case regarding Vizio about this right now. The FSF was brought in to explain the intended interpretation and spirit of the GPL.

Fuck off Poettering. Stop trying to absorb the whole system.

EDIT: apparently systemd absorbing the whole system with it’s nonstandard, monolithic nightmare is a good thing, judging from downvotes. Carry on.

ext4 has been battle-tested for many years and is very stable. Doesn’t have the same fragmentation and data loss issues certain other filesystems like NTFS have.

I’ve made a few code contributions, but most of the time I’m working on my own (also libre) projects or procrastinating.

I’m also a member of the FSF so I guess those membership dues also count?

Okay, I get it. It makes a lot more sense now. Honestly your first comment was word salad.
