No Radical Changes in GNU Project

I signed it. I'm not against RMS, I just don't think he should lead GNU. I think the GNU Advisory Committee is better suited to lead things. I believe both the FSF board and the GAC need term limits and I hope they implement them.

Are you a different person from the mattl who recently tweeted

> Support free software.

> Don’t support Stallman.

In any case I think it’s clear the letter is against Stallman retaining the leadership role and therefore in a binary supporter/adversary framing, the signers should not be considered “supporters” of RMS.

The second half of that sentence pits you directly against RMS, who has made clear he does not intend to leave his position with GNU.

That'd classify as being against RMS. You can argue semantics all you want, but with someone else as I am not interested.

And so you have seized the opportunity. Disgusting.
