Stallman tirelessly emphasized the importance +of computer user freedom and laid the foundation for his vision to +become a reality by starting the development of the GNU operating +system. For that we are truly grateful. + +Yet, we must also acknowledge that Stallman’s behavior over the years +has undermined a core value of the GNU project: the empowerment of +[_all_ computer users](https://www.gnu.org/gnu/manifesto.html#benefit). +GNU is not fulfilling its mission when the behavior of its leader +alienates a large part of those we want to reach out to. + +We believe that Richard Stallman cannot represent all of GNU. We +think it is now time for GNU maintainers to collectively decide about +the organization of the project. The GNU Project we want to build is +one that _everyone_ can trust to defend their freedom. + + + 1. Ludovic Courtès (GNU Guix, GNU Guile) + 2. Ricardo Wurmus (GNU Guix, GNU GWL) + 3.
