I wonder what this means for the influence of the FSF in general. And will RMS stop working on emacs and other software?
- rrss 7y ago> and will RMS stop working on emacs and other software? Has he still been contributing code? My impression was always that he wrote the first versions of emacs,gcc,... many years ago, and many other people have taken over in the intervening decades. I'm quite confident he isn't working on gcc anymore.
- javagram 7y agoI knew he no longer works on GCC and many other projects but I thought he still contributed to emacs. Looking at the recent commits on GitHub, it appears I was wrong about that. Did he have mainly a supervisory role at the FSF or was he just giving talks lately and no longer actively contributing?
