   It's difficult to see how the FSF can survive this latest issue without RMS stepping down (which I doubt he will voluntarily?) or backpedaling massively (which he definitely won't).

   The last few years have also shown it won't be long until the next issue arises, either.

     That's not a fun conclusion to come to, but it's serious; from the general public's perspective, the FSF and RMS are the hub of software freedom's key ideas.

     Even if you feel it should be possible to separate RMS's personal views from the FSF, that's not the public perception.
