It seems like the obvious strategy there is to just make someone else the figurehead, and I'd argue that's largely already happened. When I first learned about the free software movement, I was taught that Linus Torvalds is the spiritual figurehead because he wrote the Linux operating system we all use; it was only years after that that I learned about rms and the whole GNU/Linux argument.
