I always thought that the free software community have strong and independent culture, and it's very sad to see GNU maintainers, for whose work I have great respect, fall for the moral panic that is being spread by news and social media (it is in the interests of the media to promote moral panics as it increases user engagement and gives them even more power to manipulate the public). This leads to dissolution of the free software culture and its ethical values with the influence of media and corporations that are hostile towards software freedom. And you demonstrated that this influence is real by letting a slanderous media campaign provoke you into action (even if you are not acting merely upon the false accusations by the media and have some valid reasons for doing this, you are still acting in the wake of that campaign and under the influence of it).
