Bradley Kuhn(3/3) IMO, Richard Stallman (RMS) is a genius intellect. But RMS is a human being who is terribly wrong sometimes. RMS is likely correct 90+% of the time. But <a href="https://fedi.copyleft.org/tags/SoftwareFreedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SoftwareFreedom</a> should not incorporate papal infallibility &/or divine right of kings.The <a href="https://fedi.copyleft.org/tags/GPL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GPL</a> Agreements are some of the best licenses ever written; I thank RMS & I've dedicated my life to adjudicate them.Judge <a href="https://fedi.copyleft.org/tags/FOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FOSS</a> folks on their actions,not their technical vocabulary.This is *my* last word on “GNU/Linux”.
