Depends on the type of "good". In computer software/ethics, sure why not.
What about compared to police officers taking criminals off the streets, firefighters saving people from burning buildings, people volunteering to build shelters in third world countries? There's a lot of good to be done in the world. I'm all in support of free software, but I would not put rms in the same category as those people.
- rowanG077 7y agoPolice officers taking criminals off the street is a small good. Same with firefighting. It's simply doesn't compare to the impact Stallman has had.
- kuzimoto 7y agoAgain, I think in the software world sure he has made a big impact. Would the lives of all the people who don't care about "free software" be much different if he didn't exist?
