Let me say following: FSF and FSF.org websites are clearly apolitical, not political in other issues but: "(1) that users should have control of their own computing (for instance, through free software) and (2) supporting basic human rights in computing. We don't require you as a contributor to agree with these two points, but you do need to accept that our decisions will be based on them." -- see: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/kind-communication.html Thus FSF supports free software and deserves support, not other way around. There are By-Laws of the FSF and President can resign. However, same individual can have other positions, for example RMS cannot resign as Founder as that is not possible. I do not know really why he resigned, instead he only had to make few policies, that FSF staff members shall not abuse FSF or FSF resources or GNU projct for other politics but free software politics, and I do not even know if they did anything of that kind, there is no evidence to it. The FSF was set there to follow RMS policies, funndamental principles and to ensure for future the free software movement. To decide if organization deserves support, one has to look into its goals and purposes. For me FSF deserves support. FSF shall remain apolitical and not promote and not let FSF and GNU resources for promotion of feminism such as the statement by group of people supporting feminism: Ludovic Courtès, Andy Wingo and others: https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2019/joint-statement-on-the-gnu-project/ because they are abusing GNU platform for their political views. We now think of the situation as being crazy, it is not, it is simple situation where other political views were introduced into GNU project, they have abused GNU project to push forward feminism views, and now we got some troubles, and troubles are easily solvable. Solution is to continue keeping GNU apolitical. Those people who have signed the agreement ARE NOT free software public speakers neither activists, they are only technical, programmers who like their works and promote their works. GNU, Guile, and all the software was funded by GNU, thus RMS's creation, and FSF, and that is all fine. Those people supporting feminism have introduced their one political view into GNU project, they simply abused the powers given to them by GNU project, so they used it to create a Thoughtpolice Squad[1] to discover and punish Thoughtcrime[2] on GNU project, and they think that GNU project shall be thought-policed for their feminism reasons. Please review my facts on that, and do not become a consequence to few people who wish others harm. FSF is good foundation and does nothing against free sofware. Those people are named, they are political, introducing their stance into GNU project which is independent and apolitical. Support the FSF and GNU. Support apolitical GNU project.
