I think Stallman's opinions should be regarded no differently from what a random person on the street would say. His contributions in software does not mean his words on arbitrary subjects are more valuable than others. In fact I avoid reading his articles because they don't apply to real world (or at least not how things work for 99.99% developers and companies) and they often turn out to be a complete waste of time. If those articles were presented without his name, you would normally think they come from a mad man ranting on reddit/Twitter.
