The Stallman "cube root" thing is adorable and quotable but wasn't the right curve then, and certainly isn't the right curve now.
Love the guy, disagree with many his methods, but love the results he seeks to achieve. But like licensing, he seems willfully ignorant of outliers and is increasingly guilty of oversimplification. And more so as he ages.
He's also obsessing on Amazon, and not entirely for reasons that immediately make sense. Prior discussion:
