It's a shame that despite his very wrecked state of mind regarding some issues, FSF actually hold some believes that I actually support. The four freedoms including the zeroth is actually a fundamental concept that should be used when developing a software.
of course. the FSF and even RMS himself are great, but he is not suitable to represent the movement as a leader.
Is a backseat board director a leader though? They probably would have had less trouble if they just had him as an "advisor" without voting power.
I would be more happy with that
