Hey Adrienne,

I believe that your argument is incorrect. Starting with the fact that
LibrePlanet is a community project created and supported by the Free
Software Foundation, which even has an annual convention. In this case,
it has no relation with RMS. So LibrePlanet is LibrePlanet, not
"Stallman Con".

Also, I emphasize that the free software movement is broad, we have many
leaders, RMS being one of them. Richard did not found the free
software/libre movement, as well as his world, alone. Several people
participated in this construction, so he was one of the people who got
an extra highlight for his speeches, application of the philosophy,
performance, and work, but the movement was built collectively by people
who also worked to build what we have today in free software, and this
is undeniable.
