October 14th, 2024 Richard Stallman (aka “RMS”) is the founder of GNU and the Free Software Foundation and present-day voting member of the Free Software Foundation (FSF) board of directors and “Chief GNUisance” of the GNU project. He is responsible for innumerable contributions to the free software movement, setting its guiding principles, organizing political action, and directly contributing to a flourishing free software ecosystem. The majority of Stallman’s political activity has been of priceless value to society at large.
Uhh… I think that says more about you than it does about Stallman.
That doesn’t follow from what Stallman’s said. I mean unless you just make stuff up. You could say that at worst Stallman is an intergalactic overlord who comes down to planets and drinks babies’ blood while pretending to be a software engineer in order to mock the planetary occupants’ stupidity. I’m sure you make up whatever dark fantasy you wanted and say, given what Stallman has written, he’s at worst that dark fantasy. But just because you say “at worst” Stallman is something, doesn’t mean it’s true. Dark fantasies don’t help here.
