Hi Bastien,

I guess Sugar Labs partipates to the GSoC for the same reasons the Free Software Foundation does it through the various GNU projects: it's a way to write and promote free software that comes with no strings attached.
If Facebook is "guilty" of anything, then Google is even guiltier. Everything objected to about FB applies to both. FSF/E would not condone GNU projects' participation in an "FBSoC", yet GNU projects participate in GSoC. I believe that's the classic definition of a double standard.
But the question is: should a free software INSTITUTION use FB?
The original question was that, but https://www.fsf.org/facebook and other docs were also mentioned above, and contain plenty of references to "me" the individual, as well as "us" the institution.
While it may be difficult to leave Facebook at the individual level, I'm sure it is not difficult at all to leave Facebook when you're an institution.
What will FB do: show you picture of the Stallman crying because you leave FB?
That had me LOLing :)
