Let me clearly state that, considering support for RMS an 
understandable position is not an accepted stance inside the GNOME 
project. Not only has the GNOME Foundation signed the open letter but 
many past and current contributors have as well. [1]

There is a limit to what I consider an understandable position, and 
with supporting RMS, this line is clearly crossed.

I encourage everyone to take a stance and refuse to empower people 
holding such opinions, even be it by acts like granting them more 
rights inside the GNOME project.

RMS stands for a long tradition of abusing marginalized contributors 
and people in general. Please, everyone, use any chance to make it 
clear that you don't want to continue this history.

Best,
Sophie
