Get outa here - Stallman resigns as president of the FSF

After upsetting a few too many people and demands for his resignation (or removal) RMS has resigned from the FSF.

Whilst his contributions to GNU & free software are to be admired, some of his political views, many of his opinions and his (at times) terrible behaviour towards others not so much.

IMHO as an FSF associate member it was probably time for him to step down anyway; he’s been increasingly out of touch and clearly wishes to campaign on subjects other than free software. I wish him well for the future and hope that FSF is able to positively move forward. Whilst a few people will stop donating over his resignation I’m hopeful it will encourage others to start.
