Sunday IT Wire counted up the number of signatories on two open letters, one opposing Richard Stallman's return to the FSF and one supporting it. - The pro-Stallman letter had 3,632 individual signers - The anti-Stallman letter had 2,812 individual signers (plus 48 companies and organizations). ...
of course. the FSF and even RMS himself are great, but he is not suitable to represent the movement as a leader.
Is a backseat board director a leader though? They probably would have had less trouble if they just had him as an “advisor” without voting power.
I would be more happy with that
