Enough about the harassment stuff I mean. GNU is an operating system for computers / a collection of software. The GNU project being made up of its programmers. FSF is an org creates licenses, promotes them and owns copyrights to a set of software.
Except that FSF funds and shelters the GNU project. As in any big story, you have to follow the money

Question: Should people that have committed a crime, or are social pariah not be allowed to commit code to projects that are funded by entities you care about? Or have technical roles in such projects?
-
Or seen the other way - should organizations refrain from e.g. code hosting for public code that is partially written by such people?
-
If you do think this, does this extend to orgs? I.e. should Linux never have allowed SE Linux and other patches from the NSA, given their track record?

It’s about leadership roles.https://twitter.com/sarahmei/status/1177647111166291968?s=21 …

Well, my questions still apply, if the leadership role is strictly tech lead, not managing people. So, i'd still like you to answer them!
-
"Head of project" by its nature includes managing people? Any programming above junior level involves a lot of communication with people; there are no "strictly tech" roles.

Totally unrelated to the current issue about RMS: if this is true, then the "bubble" of free software where people who likes tech better than people could hide and be safe, is gone and destroyed....
