I recall that the FSF made a statement about this, around 20 years
ago, in an central and visible place (at that time).  But I was unable
to find it now.  So I stated this in new section in the GNU coding
standards about not talking about unrelated political issues in GNU
packages.

Software freedom means freedom for users in regard to the software.
So it is a kind of people's freedom.  The programs that exist today
are not qualified to be considered persons, so they wouldn't be able
to exercise freedoms themselves.
