>It was actually offered to GNU years ago but (if I read the thread correctly) rms didn't get the email because of the unique way he does email.

Interesting anecdote. Do you have a source for that?





Can you elaborate it a bit? I didn't see anything that suggested "rms didn't get the email because of the unique way he does email."


probably based on this: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2015-02/msg00...

I don't understand the bits about RMS' email configuration, but in that message in 2015 he indicated that he did not know about the offer in 2005 to give copyright of LLVM to the FSF.


Thanks for the source.


I don't, someone linked it to me on here a week ago so I'll try and dig it up.

Apparently rms never saw the email because of his server arrangement?
