IBM et al tried to cancel RMS in 2019 (same year the Red Hat takeover was finalised and one year before effectively canning CentOS). They don't want people to talk about stuff like software freedom (as opposed to some "open source" systemd on Microsoft servers in proprietary GitHub) and to cancel ideas, often personified albeit unwittingly^*, they can work hard to cancel a person. The events of 2019 were preceded by over a decade of similar attempts to cancel RMS, usually by people who according to him "treated [him] like shit." ⬆ _____ ^* RMS did not call GNU after himself, unlike Linus Torvalds.

"When I do this, some people think that it's because I want my ego to be fed, right? Of course, I'm not asking you to call it "Stallmanix"!"
