FSF: Free Software Award nominations sought

This was rather my point, and indeed I'm now regretting mentioning the "under a cloud" bit at all. People have latched onto it, exactly as I knew they would. My actual point was, you don't normally give this sort of award to your own founder. I imagine the FSF might give him some sort of honorary "President Emeritus" title or similar, but an award per se would be a bit odd. Perhaps it would make more sense if this were a special one-off "lifetime achievement in free software" award, and not something given out annually, but even that would look a bit weird under the circumstances (you would expect an award like that if RMS had voluntarily retired from free software altogether, but as I understand it, he is still running GNU).

Oh well.
