+<p>The Debian Project co-signs the statement regarding Richard Stallman's
+readmission to the FSF board seen at https://rms-support-letter.github.io/.
+The text of this statement is given below.</p>
+
+<p>Richard M. Stallman, frequently known as RMS, has been a driving force in the
+free software movement for decades, with contributions including the GNU
+operating system and Emacs.</p>
+
+<p>Recently, there have been vile online attacks looking to remove him from the
+FSF board of directors for expressing his personal opinions. We have watched
+this happen before in an organized fashion with other prominent free software
+activists and programmers. We will not stand idly this time, when an icon of
+this community is attacked.</p>
+
+<p>FSF is an autonomous body that is capable of treating its members in a fair,
+unbiased fashion, and should not give in to external social pressures. We urge
+the FSF to consider the arguments against RMS objectively and to truly
+understand the meaning of his words and actions.</p>
+
+<p>Historically, RMS has been expressing his views in ways that upset many
+people. He is usually more focused on the philosophical underpinnings, and
+pursuing the objective truth and linguistic purism, while underemphasising
+people’s feelings on matters he’s commenting on. This makes his arguments
+vulnerable to misunderstanding and misrepresentation, something which we feel
+is happening in the open letter calling for his removal. His words need to be
+interpreted in this context and taking into account that more often than not,
+he is not looking to put things diplomatically.</p>
+
+<p>Regardless, Stallman’s opinions on the matters he is being persecuted over are
+not relevant to his ability to lead a community such as the FSF. Furthermore,
+he is entitled to his opinions just as much as anyone else. Members and
+supporters do not have to agree with his opinions, but should respect his
+right to freedom of thought and speech.</p>
+
+<h4>To the FSF:</h4>
+
+<p>Removing RMS will hurt FSF’s image and will deal a significant blow to the
+momentum of the free software movement. We urge you to consider your actions
+carefully, as what you will decide will have a serious impact on the future of
+the software industry.</p>
+
+<h4>To the ambush mob who is ganging up on Richard Stallman over reasonable
+arguments in debate and various opinions and beliefs voiced over decades as a
+public figure:</h4>
+
+<p>You have no part in choosing the leadership of any communities. Especially not
+via another mob attack which does not remotely resemble a fairly conducted
+debate as exemplified by better people such as Richard Stallman.</p>
