- jacobush 7y agoYou don't there is enough mud to go around? MIT can do the Yogi Berra schtick by throwing Stallman out. But if so, it still does not automatically follow that it was the wrong thing to do.
- lostjohnny 7y ago> You don't there is enough mud to go around? I think there is only mud, not based on any real issue with what Stallman said or did. > does not automatically follow that it was the wrong thing to do. It does. FSF main goal was freedom and protecting fundamental liberties of each individual Stallman main contribution to FSF was the GPL, a legal framework, FSF main contribution was pro bono legal support defending free software in court. So, yeah, if FSF cannot defend its founder, most popular and most honorable member, it becomes basically useless, it follows it was the wrong thing to do. Their reputation was based on trust, trust has been broken.
