I've tweeted for many years about how awful Richard "RMS" Stallman is - the pedophilia, the ableism, the misogyny. Inevitably, each time I do, dudes examine my receipts & then say "all those incidents are from years ago! he's changed now!" NOPE.https://medium.com/@selamie/remove-richard-stallman-fec6ec210794 …

Stallman was the founder - and is STILL the President and Board Chair - of the Free Software Foundation. The FSF is enormously influential. Among other activities, it publishes the software licenses used by much of the 'copyleft' world - the GPL, LGPL, and AGPL licenses.

The licenses are not the problem, his email is. Don't throw mud on the entire FOSS world (with many women in it) b/c of one guy.

I don't think she has said anything about any problem with the licenses. It doesn't seem to me like she is throwing mud at anyone but RMS and the people that support him

I hope you're right but read her entire thread. She's dissing the entire FOSS community with all of its values b/c of one guy, RMS. Or at least that's how I understood it o_O

if she is, I can't find it. She seem to be after nothing but the one guy and the people that are supporting him

You might be right. We all supported him in the community tho, no one knew about this kind of stuff. I still hope he was just drunk when he wrote this email.

We all say dumb s**t when we're drunk. This would be next level tho. He should definitely resign anyway but I'd be satisfied if he was just drunk and wrote a poorly worded email. Maybe he wanted to say completely different thing or was uninformed. Idk, we'll see what happens :)
