> He doesnt seem to be liked by some of the more powerful, corporate entities in tech, probably because he pushes some agendas that are somewhat anti-their-profits I don't think any of those corporate entities care about Stallman in the slightest. At least 95% of the time you hear talk about him even in technical forums it's the "why is he still around" sort of controversy in various forms. You almost never hear about him doing something that could be described as positive leadership that could make any competition worry. I highly doubt anybody at those powerful, corporate entities even keep track of what he's doing, let alone has any concerns for their profits because of him. > I think this was behind the rather unsuccessful attempts to cancel him a few years ago, which cast a shadow over his reputation. The attempts to get him out I think come mostly from the Free Software community itself who to a large extent wants a better and less embarrassing leadership.
