It's not about having a mouthpiece. The point of him being at the helm, so to speak, is that he has, for lack of better words, put his money where his mouth is.

RMS can be trusted and depended upon to hold up the idea of free software and lead it. Cancellation mobs and political opportunists cannot be trusted, because they will never be satisfied with their agenda, and because they do not truly care about the foundations of FSF and GNU, and what they stand for.
In short, RMS has already said his piece. The main concern is his control and leadership for the organizations.

- CJefferson 6y agoCan RMS will try to lead, but will he be successful? Open source software has never been bigger, but the FSF, and Stallman, are nowhere to be seen. I see articles about Linus all the time. I've seen him speak twice, and both times persuaded me mainly he is an awful speaker, and actively put much of his audience off joining the FSF (I saw a talk where he did his famous "it is our holy task to deflower the female Emacs virgins" joke).
