In the article titled "Proposals for the new GNU/FSF relationship" by Mr. Mark Wielaard I noticed the following:
> More generally, we think it is time for the GNU Project to collectively > define its governance structure, in a way that includes all > stakeholders, and that the FSF should facilitate this process. The term "stakeholder" requires explanation. The term "stake" refers to a stick pointed at one end, driven into the ground to mark land boundaries. "Stake" is a term derived from real-estate. And it is closely associated to ownership. I believe that GNU's stance is that software should not have owners. If there are no owners, why should there be stakeholders? Are stakeholders somehow different from owners? If so, I for one would like to see this explained.
