I think an organization should try to express what that organization itself is going to do, and this seems clearer on that point. (Personal statements are a bit different.) The EFF statement is also worth reviewing: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/03/statement-re-election-richard-stallman-fsf-board but I think Debian's relationship with the FSF is closer to that of FSFE than the EFF, so their statement feels a bit more on point for us. Thank you for raising this, Sruthi! I hadn't seen the FSFE's statement before your message. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
