PGLAF has taken an extreme position. In order to comply with a German court ruling about copyright infringement, it's made the entire site unavailable to German IP addresses.
That would be like Google entirely cutting off the EU over "Right to be Forgotten" stuff. Google would never do that, because money. But PGLAF isn't about money.
So anyway, I'm on PGLAF's side here, if anyone cares.
But the decision to block German IP addresses /is/ about money. They made the point that it would be more expensive for PG to arrange to block specific works and that they simply don't have a budget for it. See https://cand.pglaf.org/germany/index.html
