   I'll be reinstating my FSF membership today.

   RMS resigning was the right thing to do. Still, I know this was a painful situation for many, so I'll just say: thanks for your work on free software.

     In the meanwhile, we have some difficult work in front of us; while again I think RMS stepping down was completely correct, we can at least say that RMS was stubbornly principled. Right now if you look at the OSI license lists, I think you can see a lot of people trying to chip away at the principles of FOSS, maybe even unintentionally.

     We need to re-examine and clearly be able to articulate the reasons we are taking these positions ourselves.
