In the latest installment of
Eben Moglen's interview there is evidence which could suggest that Richard will
join Eben and show the way to younger people.
Professor Moglen explains that it was not because of some rift within the FSF, or between himself and Richard Stallman, that he has decided to leave the board. Rather, it is simply time for the next generation to assume control, and suggests that it is time for Stallman to leave as well.
These two people have become iconic, but some would argue that image problems have hindered the FSF's progress as well. Regardless, here is the latest important news from
InfoWorld:
The Free Software Foundation has released the fourth or "last-call" draft of the third version of its GNU general public license, set a date for its official publication, and laid out reasons why the free and open source software community should adopt GPLv3 sooner rather than later.
Richard Stallman has just published a writeup which is titled
"Why Upgrade to GPL Version 3".

Who do we nominate as the next Guru? I can grow a really long beard...
But, seriously, who in the community would assume the mantle?
