For anyone coming to this, I can't speak for all of the people on that list, but the ones that I've met personally, over a decade now in the free software world, are decent caring people actually following the creed of freedom to its rightful conclusion. The idea that this is a "witchhunt" is absurd.
- oaiey 7y agoI think GNU deserves a leader who is not only strong in freedom advocacy. I hope GNU finds a similar passioned but also humble and emotional capable leader.
- oknenavin 7y agoCould you tell us something more about emacs? Decent caring people is not the same as decent creative people.
- marco_salvatori 7y agoI cant speak for any of the people on that list either. But if they are committed to the core values of free software and empowerment for all, then its plausible to me that, rather than words in a joint statement, they should fork the FSF. That is the course of action on which the FSF was founded and would be proof positive of their commitment to the core values they profess. They can then proceed to build a better project, with stronger core values, including universal empowerment. There is no one that has to be judged; there are no joint statements that need to be written. That is the wonderful thing about freedom. One can build, perhaps has the obligation to build, the better world that should exist.
