Richard Stallman resigns as president of the Free Software Foundation
|
|
</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>On 16 September, one of our independent sister
|
|
organisations, the US-based Free Software Foundation (FSF), <a
|
|
href="https://www.fsf.org/news/richard-m-stallman-resigns">announced
|
|
the resignation of Richard M. Stallman as its president</a>. While we
|
|
recognise Stallman's role in founding the Free Software movement, we
|
|
welcome the decision.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The Free Software Foundation Europe's mission is to empower people
|
|
from all backgrounds to control technology and thereby create a better
|
|
society for everyone. We want to ensure that every human can understand
|
|
how software works, use the software for any purpose without
|
|
discrimination, share it with others, and adapt it to their own
|
|
specific needs.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>We will continue to work with all the many organisations and
|
|
individuals out there contributing to software freedom every day,
|
|
including our <a href="/about/fsfnetwork.html">sister
|
|
organisations in India, Latin America, and the United States</a>.
|
|
Together we can ensure the continued growth and success of the Free
|
|
Software movement, balance power in our society, and make the Free
|
|
Software community a safer and more respectful place for everyone who
|
|
wants to participate in it.</p>
