Why are people attacking RMS?

| I don't think Stallman's remarks are particularly tasteful, especially in an
| era of political correctness such as the one we live in. However, to accuse
| him of sexism, when he has clearly explained what he meant to convey, is a
| bit of a stretch.

Diversity in open source
,----[ Quote ]
| Understanding gender or race diversity can be hard since we're all born into
| one group or another. But all of us might find ourselves an uncomfortable
| outsider in some stereotypical situation or other. A nerd on a sports team. A
| jock on the chess team. An atheist at a church function. A 30-something in a
| college class.

I Met Richard Stallman
,----[ Quote ]
| My brother explained the concept of Free Software to a bunch of his
| Mac-fanatic friends. My mom explained it to one of her friends as well.
| Overall, the speech had a very positive impact on my family. I am sure each
| person that listened to the speech walked out with a different attitude on
| software. Anyone from Chile, Paraguay, or Uruguay should make sure to attend
| Stallman’s upcoming speeches there. For everyone else, watch/listen to a
| recorded speech of his, or watch Stephen Fry’s “Happy Birthday to GNU” video.
|
| It’s a GNU day. What will you do to spread the word?

Neowin Exclusive: Stallman on the current state of GNU/Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| I don't know how many people have a specific intention to use future versions
| of Windows or MacOS. I also don't know many people intend to buy a computer,
| and will find that it comes with Windows 7 whether they wanted that or not.
| But if the numbers are large, my feeling towards them will not be one of awe,
| because I don't wish for the kind of success that consists of gaining power
| over lots of people. For the GNU system, the question is rather how many
| people we can liberate.
|
| My message for anyone that uses Windows or MacOS is to notice that using them
| means that Microsoft or Apple controls your computing. They decide what you
| can do, and what you can't do. So escape! Join us in the Free World! We have
| worked 25 years to build it, for freedom's sake. Now all you have to do is
| choose freedom.
