This sounds about right. I was working for Apple in the early 90s, and he called me evil. (A friend of mine, who also worked for Apple, was in the same room. To the best of my knowledge he didn't call /her/ evil. My assumption is that he didn't do that because she was attractive and single). I can respect radical. Being a hypocritical asshole, I cannot. What does this have to do with HN? I use very little GPL software. If something is GPL 3 I really, really try not to use it; I'll buy a commercial package instead, or write my own (if that is feasible), or do without (ditto). Stallman's radicalism can have the opposite effect that he thinks it does. His unreaonableness creates markets. Probably small ones, but they're there.
