RMS did get paid for making speeches, even though he didn't get a president's salary. I could easily imagine someone doing it for free. People will do anything for fame and notoriety, as long as money is coming from somewhere else to pay for that person's living expenses.

As far as I am aware, for the years of Dr. Stallman’s presidency, that position was a full-time occupation with a salary of round 0 (zero) dollars per month (or per year, I am not sure :-).
Where should they search for a person of that kind to fill such a vacancy, I wonder. Or is this practice subject to change?_______________________________________________
