(It does not make sense to talk about "democratic" when you talk about
organisations. It just makes sense for states. For organisations we
should talk about participation, transperency, decision making, etc.)

Your input about the license of the FSFE was considered (at least by
me). But a lot of people at that time did not agree with it. That can
also happen in organisations where all members vote on a proposal.

I still think it was bad that you stopped your involvement, because of
this.

Matthias
