GNU, GPL, Open Source Richard Stallman, industry activist and founder of the Free Software Foundation has - once again - relinquished his role as maintainer of the phenomenally successful GNU Extensible, Customizable, Display Editor (Emacs). The news was slipped out on the Emacs developers' forum and Stallman explained his reasons in a later interview.

I think they should have worked with dotGNU instead... I'm not sure why more people aren't aware of that project :/

RMS is getting stranger all the time.First his personal vendetta with the tivo/GPL3 thing and now Linux.

Why he singles out Linux is beyound me.Last time I checked emacs (and other GNU tools) did run on a bunch of OS's.Even (gulp) windows.

It's GNU/windows!! Take that Ballmer!
