"But what does it mean to be employed? Receiving a paycheck? RMS doesn't take a paycheck from MIT, so he's both homeless and unemployed by the standard of receiving a paycheck and having an apartment/home. Yet for the right position, he's infinitely qualified." RMS may not get a paycheck from MIT, but he is making money. He has at least one book for sale and charges for signed pictures of himself. I am pretty sure he also makes money speaking at various events.
