I develop non-free software for a living. My lively-hood, my standard of living, my hobbies (all very nice, and very expensive), all depend on it. 100%. And yet RMS was and continues to be a sort of software demi-god to me. I'm an atheist, but I'm expressing it with religious terms, so I don't use those terms lightly. RMS really is what I look up to and strive to achieve. No, I don't want to be him, but yes I do wish to match his philosophical purity. So when I say I think that people who knock on RMS because of their profession are in error, I'm also not speaking lightly.
