Richard Stallman and the GNU project

While Richard Stallman has resigned from the Free Software Foundation andMIT, he continues to hold onto his position as the head of the GNU project. Now, the FSF has announced that it is"working with GNU leadership on a shared understanding of the relationship for the future" and is seeking comments from thecommunity on what that should be.

Meanwhile, a group of maintainers for specific GNU projects has posteda joint statement calling for new leadership at GNU. "We believethat Richard Stallman cannot represent all of GNU. We think it is now timefor GNU maintainers to collectively decide about the organization of theproject. The GNU Project we want to build is one that everyone can trust todefend their freedom."
