Yet only one signed that statement.
It's ridiculous.
I think it's quite clear that it's time for RMS to step down. I'm also quite sure that is what will happen eventually.

Edit: Stallman's behaviour over the years has always been the same AFAIK. They knew who was the head of the project before they joined. And what political stance he had on various subjects out of the scope of the GNU project. The GNU project embodies freedom of the software to empower computer users. I don't see how that goal has been missed by RMS's position in the GNU project. He has made talks all over the world, including Microsoft headquarters. And he has never said anything against LGTBQ+ rights. To the contrary, he supports them.Last edited by Filiprino; 10-07-2019, 03:09 PM.

Also, some concrete examples of this:
"Yet, we must also acknowledge that Stallman’s behavior over the years has undermined a core value of the GNU project: the empowerment of all computer users. GNU is not fulfilling its mission when the behavior of its leader alienates a large part of those we want to reach out to."
Since when GNU's core value has been empowerment of all computer users? I have never ever heard anything like that. GNU's goal has been a free operating system.

You think you have rights to fire someone, but you don't.

I think it's pretty amazing that someone like RMS, who never fraternized with Epstein, gets the big fat boot, while someone like Bill Gates, who did hang out with Epstein seems to be getting off scott-free...
