+title: Joint statement on the GNU Project
+date: 2019-10-07 16:15
+author: A collective of GNU maintainers
+tags: Community

+
+We, the undersigned GNU maintainers and developers, owe a debt of
+gratitude to Richard Stallman for his decades of important work in the
+free software movement.  Stallman tirelessly emphasized the importance
+of computer user freedom and laid the foundation for his vision to
+become a reality by starting the development of the GNU operating
+system.  For that we are truly grateful.
+
+Yet, we must also acknowledge that Stallman’s behavior over the years
+has undermined a core value of the GNU project: the empowerment of
+[_all_ computer users](https://www.gnu.org/gnu/manifesto.html#benefit).
+GNU is not fulfilling its mission when the behavior of its leader
+alienates a large part of those we want to reach out to.
+
+We believe that Richard Stallman cannot represent all of GNU.  We
+think it is now time for GNU maintainers to collectively decide about
+the organization of the project.  The GNU Project we want to build is
+one that _everyone_ can trust to defend their freedom.
