Most of us have political views about other issues, but in connection with GNU we should not go further than hint at them -- not argue for them, let alone propose that the GNU Project endorse them. Use your own non-GNU site to present your politics -- as I do. I speak for the GNU Project as its head. That doesn't mean I speak for GNU Project participants. You don't have to agree with the GNU Project's free software principles, its goals or its policies to participate in the GNU Project. All that is required is to act in accord with them in your work on GNU. -- Dr Richard Stallman Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://gnu.org, https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
