No, that's very observational of me. Try spending half an hour in same
room with him when he knows you work for a company that has a "Linux"
in the name, but not a "GNU", see him acting like an annoying
fourty-something years old bearded child who didn't get a candy, then
we talk :) I'm not even mentioning his ever-lasting feuds with Linus.
Ok, I did actually think you were talking about me being a dick! It's
been a while since I read anything much about RMS. He'd gained some
kind of mythical status in my head.
James.
Like I said before, free software has many appealing
aspects to me. A
business model that imposes strong business and human ethics is one of
them.
I've never thought of free software as a business model. In fact to me
one of the appealing things about it is that business models don't
have to come into it.
I tend to strip bits of conversations to which I agree
or think of
them as of irrelevant ones. There a few things I dislike more than
RMS, and lengthy uncut threads happen to be one of them.
Yes I certainly agree with you there. It's especially annoying
scrolling past a few hundred lines of quoted text just to be greeted
by a single line reply.
Being passionate as OK as long as you don't behave
like a dick.
Freedom and small projects have very little to do with that.
That's very judgemental of you.
