Risking the organization was a pointlessly arrogant thing to do, especially since a replacement board could draft a poisoned GPLv4. It was better for him and the project when he remained as the shadow leader. The liberal side of the culture war is unquestionable orthodoxy in the American tech world and heretics like Stallman were never going to be welcome ever again. There was no value in having Stallman publicly jump back in. IMO this was a terrible idea from the start. There's only three outcomes at this point: >RMS stays and the free software world has a schism over it >RMS and the board give in and get replaced by people who are more willing to submit to HR culture (hopefully retaining the same ideals as before but probably won't) >RMS stays, it all turns out to be a bluff and they move on I'd say option 2 is by far the most likely. Realistically speaking, this is probably the end. Red Hat suspends all support for the FSF and associated people unless RMS retires. > Feel free to reproduce these pieces of Verifiable™ Reality® wherever they are needed.
