"[Stallman] seems to sincerely believe his all-or-nothing stance" Richard Stallman has largely been not averse to pragmatism, he is the sort that is willing to clearly articulate his stance as to what he thinks is right, but has also been willing to endorse all sorts of incrementalism. For example: http://lists.xiph.org/pipermail/icecast-dev/2001-February/000005.html http://lists.xiph.org/pipermail/icecast-dev/2001-February/00... "In response to the change of license, Richard Stallman of the Free Software Foundation says, "I agree. It is wise to make some of the Ogg Vorbis code available for use in proprietary software, so that commercial companies doing proprietary software will use it, and help Vorbis succeed in competition with other formats that would be restricted against our use."" (I am desperately trying to avoid inserting a Bernie Sanders analogy here..)
