I don't mean that they voice their opinion that RMS behavior is a problem, that is not strange.
What I mean is strange is that the GNOME Foundation does it through that "open letter" given how it is phrased and how it references inaccurate sources in the appendix. I saw you wrote about that earlier so I think you understand what I mean. Otherwise see how the problems with the open letter are explained here: https://edsantos.eu/on-stalman/

Also, since you mentioned the GNOME Code of Conduct, the "open letter" itself would be a violation of that code of conduct if it had been posted in GNOME community spaces.
The code of conduct says, for example: Be friendly, Be empathetic, Be respectful. The open letter is very far from that.
While I understand that the GNOME Foundation can say the open letter is on Github and thus outside of GNOME community spaces so the code does not apply, to me it still seems inappropriate.

@clacke If you have time, I would be interested to hear what you think about those things (see also above):
- The GNOME Foundation signing the "open letter" as a whole organization, given how it is phrased and how it references inaccurate sources in the appendix.
- The GNOME Foundation signing something that would have been a clear violation of the GNOME code of conduct if posted in their own space.
For me it's hard to understand how they could do that, I really wonder what is behind it.
