Thank you, GNU maintainers, for your statement.

I would like to note a lot of articles on the Internet purposely
misquote Stallman. For example this header from your link:
"Renowned MIT Scientist Defends Epstein: Victims Were ‘Entirely
Willing’".
He didn't defend Epstein, he had actually called him a "serial rapist"
earlier, also in the mail he didn't say "victims", note the plural. He
also said the victim could be *presented* to Minsky as entirely willing,
he didn't say she actually was. Language is a really subtle tool and
small things like this can make a big change.

So please, be careful, when reading those articles and judge wisely,
especially because the situation is a really delicate matter.

I also found the link to arguments defending Stallman:
https://sterling-archermedes.github.io/

I don't really know what should I think about all of this, but it
would be a bit unjust if Stallman didn't have any defense, even if he
made a mistake.


Hope I won't get excluded from the project, because of my opinion,
Jan





I have to second this. I've read the full RMS mails the day they were published and was disgusted what media did with this conversation. In this case I do not agree with the Guix statement joint-statement-on-the-gnu-project...
