Let us put down those generalizations about "strategy that GNU
organization takes" and be specific. Which specific strategy did GNU
project take that no longer correspond to its goals?

Be specific, stop accusations, provide facts.

For any organization, if you think it is bad or good, it does not
matter, if it is not yours, volunteers have no final say, it is GNU
founder who has finaly say, please remember on www.stallman.org it is
written "I continue to be the Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project.
I do not intend to stop any time soon."

GNU is not yours, volunteers have no final say, it is so in majority
of software projects, nothing wrong about that.

Can you please have some respect for doctor Stallman?

You have all the freedom to think anything.

Yet, without consulting with the GNU founder, Dr. Richard Stallman,
your behavior is disrespectful.
