I want to think you got explicit permission to post those messages here.
By the way, did FSFLA ever published something about Stallman's cancelation in
2019 or 2021? I haven't seen any, but maybe there is.
Regarding my rather blunt response about RMS and LP, I was shocked by your
justification for not speaking up, but that is only because I tend to judge
things according to my own values. I would swim oceans across and climb
mountains on bare feet to help a friend in need. To put it on a more realistic
scenario, I would even use some non-free tool. In fact, even Stallman had to do
it in order to help us; we wouldn't have GNU otherwise.
"In 1983 I decided to develop the GNU operating system, as a free replacement
for Unix. The feasible way to do it was to write and test the components one by
one on Unix. But was it legitimate to use Unix for this? And was it legitimate
to ask others to use Unix for this, given that Unix was proprietary software?
[....] The conclusion I reached was that using Unix to put an end to the use of
Unix was legitimate for me to suggest to other developers. I likened it to
participating in small ways in some evil activity, such as a criminal gang or a
dishonest political campaign, in order to expose it and shut it down."

I'm sorry I can't follow everything that's posted here, you people are too
prolific.
