Then he should directly comment on all of the statements on the subject he has made over the years [1], particularly since they still exist on his personal website in unedited form, and are easily linked. Honestly, he could easily go back and write an "Updated: I no longer think this because X. I held this idea for a long time because Y."
He hasn't done that. He's free not to do so if he chooses, though I think this is one of the things he needs to shore up if he is to recover his reputation. I had no knowledge of these quotes prior to this incident, and while I still support free software, I will look to other folks for leadership on the topic.
