The Free Software Foundation has lost one of its best-known leaders.

Board Member Eben Moglen announced this week that he is stepping down from his post now that the latest draft of GPLv3 has been released. Moglen gave a keynote speech at the MySQL Conference and Expo in Santa Clara, Calif. Wednesday and was not immediately available for comment. Jim Garrison, spokesman for the Software Freedom Law Center, said that the two organizations will continue working together.

Garrison said he believed the departure was on good terms and that Moglen discussed his plans with others at the foundation before posting a blog explaining his reasons for leaving. FSF President Richard Stallman could not be reached immediately for comment.
