Thanks, Carl. I would like to point out that Carl posted his suggestion to
the individual people on this list. He did not propose that the KDE e.V.
officially take a stand.

If you agree with Carl that RMS should not be able to slink back onto the
Board of the FSF and that action by the FSF is bad for Free Software, then
his email tells you how to register your concern.

If you disagree, you need take no action. RMS is now back on the FSF Board,
and none of us know how or why that happened.

I'm unsure why there is outrage in offering people a choice?
