While some will think this is about a single recent event, Stallman has consistently said and done inapprotiate things for years. Most people I know who have spent extensive time with him say it has put them off working with the FSF, and he is the reason many people have resigned.
While he did start a great movement, at this point he hurts the FSF much more then he helps it.
(I'm on my phone, so won't put a huge list of references here, but such things aren't hard to find. For example, see https://mobile.twitter.com/mjg59 https://mobile.twitter.com/mjg59 for a major open source contributor who has been discussing the problems with Stallman for years)
- dvfjsdhgfv 7y agoThis is a decades-long story; actually the whole "Open Source" name appeared because some people believed that Stallman and "Free Software" puts other off. But in the end you can satisfy everybody and there will always be people put off by someone or something.
