@SuperDicq He has been known to veto decisions made in GNU projects he doesn't even maintain.
The fact he believes he has a veto, and the fact that other people act as though he has a veto – the fact he has a voting seat – suggests that's not the extent of what he does.
I'm sure Richard Stallman feels righteous, but a feeling of righteousness is easy. It appears he's not willing to put in the hard work of self-improvement. Even Linus Torvalds (opponent of GPLv3) has him beat there.
