I'm interested in an academic sense, what's the accusation here?
Regardless of the person's views though I think if their code is clean and they're not actively applying said views to harm other contributors, live and let live...
- orangetuba 4y agoAgreed. Actively trying to harm other contributors (Richard Stallman) is the problem here.
- acdw 4y agogenuinely curious here: when was the last time rms contributed anything other than bad takes or toxic behavior to the fsf?
- orangetuba 4y agoI don't have a clear overview of the exact timeline, but at some point he created the FSF, the original GCC, Emacs, GDB, GNU Make, parts of the GNU userspace tools, the predecessor to Wikipedia, the copyleft concept and the GPL license among other things. How does it compare to your contributions?
- kaba0 4y agoEmacs was not originally created by him though, but Guy Steele and David Moon.
- maleldil 4y agoRMS can be an amazing engineer that helped shape the tech world as we know it today, and still be a horrible human being.
- mongol 4y agoI am quite sure he is not a horrible human being. I reserve that word for people like Putin.
