RMS announced he is back on the FSF board
[1][1]https://twitter.com/nixcraft/status/1373905399707955202 but
his name
is not (yet?) on the FSF website
[2][2]https://www.fsf.org/about/staff-and-board/ ?
So here's my tweet:
"Hooray!!! #RMS is back on the board of the #FSF after being axed in
2019. A plot by corporate vultures to rustle up opportunity to exploit
#FreeSoftware, #MIT professors reciprocated by pretending that they
didn't know how to read. #GNU #Linux

-free-software-foundation-board-comments"
Yes RMS' name is now at the end of the fsf page, but not as President:
[4]https://www.fsf.org/about/staff-and-board
They've also axed Oliva for suggesting that prospective members send a
message to the FSF indicating their wish to have RMS reinstated.This is
Oliva's communication:
"Would you make a pledge to become a new member, or to renew your
membership, if the FSF gets Richard back in the board of directors?
Please email it to the FSF contact address (info), copying myself
(oliva, at fsf or gnu).
Past communications in his favor have generally failed to reach the
board of directors, and I believe this would be valuable information
for the directors and voting members to have.
Would you do that for me, for Richard, for the FSF, for the Free
Software Movement? That would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!"
RMS will need his friends, like Oliva, by his side. Let's put the FSF
on probation, until we're quite sure that RMS is not being constrained
or "handled" in any way.
