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.
You're right, and anyone who thinks otherwise should check out Revolution OS. He speaks about it in detail.
