Free Software Foundation invited [0] everyone to nominate outstanding free software developers, activists, teams and organizations for its annual honorary awards.

Tip: Dr. Richard Matthew Stallman is no longer an FSF affiliate and thus eligible for the Advancement of Free Software award [1].

Do you mean that he was eligible, but now he isn't? Or that he wasn't eligible but now he is? If it's the latter, I suggest we all nominate him.

Yes, I realized that as soon as I looked at the link. I nominated him too. Here's what I wrote:

> Richard Stallman founded the GNU Project and the Free Software Foundation, created copyleft and the GNU GPL, wrote a huge volume of work explaining complex software freedom issues (see: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/), and spent years on the road speaking to anyone who would listen about software freedom and why human freedom depends on it, as computers and software become more and more ubiquitous. He also created GNUpedia, which played a key role in the founding of Wikipedia.

Don't forget there are two awards. For the second one, the GNU Project could also be nominated for the project of social benefit.
