I had emailed stallman about this.

My email:

Greetings Dr. Stallman,

First of all, Happy 40th GNUversary!

I was not able to attend the GNU40 meeting in Switzerland, but I have heard rumours that you have announced that you have some form of cancer.

Can you give me some more information about this? And is the cancer manageable?

I hope you are around for many more years.

Stallman's reply:

[[[ To any NSA and FBI agents reading my email: please consider ]]] [[[ whether defending the US Constitution against all enemies, ]]] [[[ foreign or domestic, requires you to follow Snowden's example. ]]]

I'm glad you are concerned about my well being. At the same time, I am disappointed that people are spreading incomplete rumors, instead of passing along all of what I said about this. That is going to waste a lot of people's time and concern, just as it has done with you.

My prognosis is good. I can expect to live many more years.
