   @simsa03 @sullybiker The article implies that FSF was pretty meaningless without the GNU Project, which continued to be led by RMS.
   
   But a reasonable observer might conclude that further investigation after his resignation found that some of the claims made against Stallman were not supported by evidence, since most such organizations’ board members are invited, not self-nominated.
   
   Either that, or the FSF leadership indeed lacks principles, and did it because Stallman as figurehead likely brings in more money.
   
   I can’t think of another explanation that passes the reasonableness test.

     @storm One thing that pushing him out in 2019 showed me is that I really do not trust #FSF leaders other than Richard M. Stallman to firmly adhere to the intent of "the Four Freedoms":{https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html} aside from his influence.
     
     I think there is a need to develop other principled leaders in both FSF / #GNU and in #OSI, because eventually RMS will pass away.

     @lnxw48a1 @sullybiker Do these board positions come with a salary or reimbursement? (Perhaps Stallman is just in need of cash.)
     
     Anyway, AFAIK there has been clear and numerouse evidence for the allegations, enough to keep this prick out of MIT and FSF for life.
