Stallman is certainly extreme and dogmatic in his views of free software, but I don't think being dogmatic means not being logical. What is "logical" when policies are considered, anyway? A policy is meant to advance a goal. You may not share Stallman's goals, or, you may share them but believe that a different policy is a better means of achieving those goals, but I wouldn't say he's not logical. I also do not think that he wants all software development to be unpaid. He just believes that software should generate income by means other than selling licenses to closed-source software. In fact, GNU specifically talks about how to sell free software[1]. You may believe that their economic model is not viable, but they certainly don't advocate unpaid programming, nor do they advocate donations as the sole or even primary means for generating income from software.
