Richard Stallman was right since the very beginning. Every warning, every prophecy realised. And, worst of all, he had the solution since the start. The problem is not Richard Stallman or the Free Software Foundation. The problem is us. The problem is that we didn’t listen.

Yeah, he's a weird dude, but he truly lived what he believed WRT free software, and that has a lot of value.

I'm not really on board with GPL everything, but I do think it makes a lot of sense in many cases.
