You gotta understand, despite what you may think of RMS (and I may share some of your negativity), he is practically WORSHIPPED amongst parts of the *nix community. The man certainly has some condescending opinions about software, but he is not conceited about his own celebrity - he quite certainly would gladly give it up if he could. This is the message of someone who knows he gets more email than he can adequately respond to in a timely basis and still do anything productive at all with his day. He's doing the best he can.
- smitherfield 11y agoI agree that we can't fault famous people for not being able to answer every email immediately, but >The man certainly has some condescending opinions about software, but he is not conceited about his own celebrity - he quite certainly would gladly give it up if he could. Which is why he's happy to let Linus get all the credit?…
- icebraining 11y agoIt's not like he wants to call it RMS/Linux. Many people have contributed to the GNU project, and one doesn't have to be looking for self-publicity to advocate for its recognition.
