RMS says that proprietary software is evil. He makes those developing proprietary software feel bad for making a living. His endgame isn't about choice to be free, it's about everyone making free software.
If he had the power, do you think he would outlaw proprietary software?
- plinkplonk 18y ago"If he[Stallman] had the power, do you think he would outlaw proprietary software?" This kind of hypothetical question is not a valid argument. "If you were starving to death would you become a cannibal?" Should we put you in jail now if you answer yes?
- trapper 18y agoI think it's a valid question because this is what we wants to accomplish, as he has stated many times. He openly states proprietary software is evil, and by association the vendors. Chaunx said he isn't threatening. I disagree, and feel he is quite threatening to those who don't share his world view.
- dinkumthinkum 18y agoI doubt anybody shoveling money into the fire of their life-sized toy steam engine train will feel bad about making all that loot on their proprietary software startup. I think they will manage somehow. :)
