- kstrauser 2y agoBut they're only bad/counterproductive when assessed against their own goals. They're a lot more reasonable if you assess them against Stallman's, where you could say "yeah, these actions kept GCC from becoming a handy tool for proprietary interests who don't want to share their work back with us".

- kstrauser 2y agoOn the subject of software freedom, I hate how accurately prophetic he is. RMS: Here’s how they'll get ya! Me: Nice, but that'd never happen. Vendor: Here’s how we got ya! Me: Dammit. Seriously, he must have a working crystal ball. Now, my agreement with him starts and ends on that subject. He says plenty of other things I wholly disagree with. But his warnings about proprietary software lock-in? Every. Single. Time.
