> But it seems to me like joining GNU is solely a political statement and a sign of agreement with Stallman's views on morality (since he frames free software / computing freedom as a moral issue).

GNU's views on software. Stallman's just the figurehead for these. I don't care what his opinions are outside of this, nevermind agree or disagree.

> Is there another reason to associate yourself with GNU?

As I said, I can't think of any in the first place. But I'm still glad GNU and FSF do exist, and that their views are so extreme.

If they weren't, then a much softer position would be called extreme instead. The world would be worse for it.
