I no longer see any occupy-wall-street anger. Quite convenient and safe for multi-nationals to feign Victorian moral outrage instead.

Ok, I somewhat agree. But apparently enough influence for RedHat to donate until now.

In general I think that dragging other issues like "Stallman should have pushed the AGPL earlier" as a justification for calling for his second resignation is not fair (not attacking you here, but people on the web who did that).

These issues have been out there for decades and could have been brought up much earlier.

I also find it immensely hypocritical to see members of old-style distributions piling on Stallman now. Apart from RedHat I saw a high ranking SuSE person who got rich off other people's GPL software signing the anti-RMS petition.

These people have known exactly what exploratory and non-mainstream views Stallman expoused (held might even be too strong).

All of a sudden the "see the light" and throw him under the bus.

I'm close to the point where I'd recommend IBM to revive AIX and devote all resources to that. /s

This is another power grab by RedHat, which has been infiltrating many open source projects in the past decade.

Their representatives are dominant and operate in groups. If you contradict them even on technical matters, they'll remember for years to come and make your life difficult.

RedHat has been a net harm for several projects, this is another political move to grab even more power.
