Since its launch on Monday, the number of signatories to the petition has grown rapidly. Everyone is speaking out against behavior deemed undesirable by RMS, which they believe is a thorn in the side of the free and open source software community. There are also academics, and even former MEP from the Swedish Pirate Party, in this case Amelia Andersdotter. The signatories of the petition i They include developers, contributors, and senior officials from free software and open source organizations and projects, including GNOME Foundation, Open Source Initiative, Software Freedom Conservancy, Apache Software Foundation, Wikimedia Foundation, EFF, etc. As for the FSF board of directors, the petitioners accuse it of displaying 'exaggerated' passivity. The mobilization for the departure of RMS from all its management positions in the free software community has its origin in his statements considered disturbing related to the sex of minors and the laws relating to child pornography. Subsequently, hundreds of free software and open source supporters signed an open letter calling on the founder of the Free Movement to return his apron, but also on the entire FSF board of directors to resign. For her, 'Stallman does not reflect the leader that the community wants to have.' Hours after the announcement, he said he will stop working with the Free Software Foundation if RMS does not resign from the organization's board of directors.

One of the first reactions came from the Open Source Initiative (OSI), which said it was outraged by the announcement. Stallman (RMS) to the board of directors of the Free Software Foundation (FSF) and it is that thousands of people and organizations of the free software and open source community (Open Source Initiative, Software Freedom Conservancy, Apache Software Foundation) are asking for his departure again and now Mozilla and Tor are now among the protesters.Īs we reported yesterday, Pressure is mounting for Stallman, who is back on the FSF board, to be expelled from the organization he created and of which he has been a symbol for decades.
