On September 16, 2019, Richard M. Stallman, founder and president of the Free Software Foundation, resigned both as its president and from its board of directors. [3]

His resignation followed the publication of e-mails discussing an MIT [4] academic linked to Epstein. The Guardian explains what happened [5].

April duly notes this decision and will continue to work with the Free Software Foundation, as it has since its inception.
