what is the Software Freedom Conservancy? the wikipedia page just says anodyne things, but reading between the lines they seem to be a "we like the GPL but we dislike Stallman and GNU and FSF and Moglen"... am I reading into this correctly?

as a for-instance, in TFA it says this "issue that goes far beyond one person wanting to fix their printer software" which is a weird strawman-flex and seems more like a childish insult directed at Stallman's creative spark when he invented the software freedom movement in the first place 40ish years ago. Jelly much?

Honest question, why would they be divisive like this?
