I am a volunteer working on several GNU projects on my own free time.
As long as the GNU Project is happy with my contributions, so am I.
But while I don't request any special gratitude for my contributions,
neither do I expect to be judged, morally or ethically, by those who
receive these contributions. If the GNU Project wants my
contributions, it will have to accept the fact that I'm a package deal
(like everybody else): my contributions come together with my views
and with the platforms on which I work (which include GNU/Linux, btw).

Most of my contributions improved Emacs on all platforms.

No, it is but one way of improving Emacs, so it's more close to being
collinear than to orthogonal.
