If you look at the people who signed the letter, you will see a lot of names of people who also dedicated their lives to Free Software. I don't think they want to destroy the movement but are getting tired of having RMS, as a public figure, representing them. > While some of his same-age are now filthy rich by writing proprietary > code, RMS lives humbly, putting all his time and talent to the benefit > of the community. He hurts many in the community, driving away contributors from underexpressed minorities. A good summary can be found here: https://rms-open-letter.github.io/appendix > We can not conceive the Free/Libre Software - and all the benefits that > brought to society- without Richard.

RMS created the free software movement but this shouldn't be an excuse for irresponsible behavior. People at the top of an organization and serving as a public figure for a movement should have an irreproachable behavior. With great power comes great responsibilities. > Finally, I find ironic that the "open letter" to debunk RMS is placed > on Github, a Microsoft owned company. Yeah not a fan of that personally but the option to sign by mail was also available for those who wished to only use free software to sign the letter. > This puts an end to my discussion on this matter, at least on this > channel. > > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Dr. Luis Falcon, MD, MSc > President, GNU Solidario > Advancing Social Medicine > www.gnuhealth.org
