    RMS is the patron saint (and prophet) of open source. Like all saints he can be an A-hole zealot.

    I want to thank Richard for being the a-hole zealot the world has needed. The whole F-ing world is in debt to his relentless, tireless work.

      I don’t want to be pedantic in reply to a heartfelt comment but since I believe Richard himself would say this: he advocates for free software which is fundamentally different from open source.

      He’s someone I think who will truly be appreciated when its to late. Like when we’re getting our amazon anal trackers inserted by our yearly google healthcare visit we’ll have a moment that we should have appreciated him morw
