Nobody is perfect. Purpose is free operating system and free software and user rights. Gnome is large project and one would need to balance between more good and less bad in smart way. One does not manage things with a sword. Especially GNU project is totally opposite to any strict type of leadership. There is certain trade between good and bad, little bad for more good is always a good trade. Chances are great that any user who finds "open source" software in Gnome is to be driven to GNU and free software philosophy. That Gnome foundation is differently managed and that they introduce and tolerate "open source" or introduce other politics is unfortunate. In general, any foundation manager shall not bring any prejudices into organization, and shall stick to legal justice system of the country before accusing anybody, including Stallman.
