My frustration is for the stupid people in the GCC mailing list who think that those individuals are bigger than the ideological cause.

They even started contemplating that GCC should fork away from FSF.

I'm sure you mean "stupid people who believe in equality" so it is hilarious that you think one individual, RMS, is more important than the ideas of copyleft.

The best compliment that you can pay RMS is to say that his ideas were greater than the man, and they they deserve to outlive him.

GCC is already separate from RMS/FSF, effectively from the late 1990s with the EGCS fork, and officially now. I expect they will move further away due to the recent debacle.

I have not named RMS. FSF and the cause is bigger than RMS.
