Anybody with any knowledge of what both Jobs and RMS have achieved and how their vision has affected our work and our lives can only have respect for both of them.
What we do every day would be very different without them.
And for fuck's sake, no matter how you feel about RMS as a person and his undiplomatic, uncompromising stance, listen when the man speaks. He's been right more often than not.

Regarding Richard Stallman you can take or leave his personality, but he does take a very long view of the software ecosystem and he has made more than a few prophetic observations ("The Right to Read" foreshadowing widespread DRM comes to mind). I'll always take the time to hear what he has to say.
