I agree. I think in practice many (most?) maintainers not only agree to uphold the free software values, but also share them.

In either case, discussions about governance should be taken with RMS, and not here. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
