Good article to read:
https://medium.com/@tossing.bark/remove-stallman-you-say-and-everyone-else-horrible-in-tech-fd4b1446b0a1

How does Dr. Richard Stallman lead GNU Project?

Dr. Richard Stallman contacts opinion leaders and forwards free software:

He teaches the world on free software:

Dr. Richard Stallman provides policies and planning for GNU project, and he has done so successfuly for many years.

And Minsky is not guilty, finally accusing dead person is disgraceful:

I would not be writing all this, would there be some official
statement on FSF or GNU websites.
