Re: RMS candidacy (was: Re: 10 Questions for All Candidates)

I don't think the concern over RMS makes sense.  The
fact that RMS is willing to run for the board is
itself a respect for the democratic process of the
GNOME Foundation. He is not getting treated
differently than anyone else, through his place in the
history of free software and the GNU Project is
unparalleled. He will not have more power than anyone
else on the board over GNOME-related matters, if the
GNOME Foundation works as designed.
