The FSF? Is that the one led by the dude who eats his toenails? The one that won't compromise and is opensource or nothing? The one that doesn't have any translations? If so, then that ain't it cuz.
Parldigi was able to compromise to reach a part of their goals and get something this large and important into legislation.

Yes, that autist that's done more in 40 years than anyone else in the world.
Seems to have some translations:

What is your proposal for a "worldwide" Parliamentary Group? Do we wait to establish a World Parliament, along with a World Government, or is there something we could do in the meantime?
FSFE is not the same as FSF. It's a completely independent organisation.
It's a "sister organization". Laws are different in different parts of the world, so it makes sense to have different "forks" if you wish.

Yes they share many similarities with the FSF, but they are separate, and have some different viewpoints on things. You can't use something they do as an argument as to why FSF is good, when the actual FSF doesn't do that thing. They also dislike RMS, who is also one of @[email protected] 's arguments against the FSF.
