This is before my time, so take this with a grain of salt. But I don't think RMS has changed that much. He still advocates unlocked wifi networks ( http://stallman.org/#long-term http://stallman.org/#long-term -> https://openwireless.org/ https://openwireless.org/ ). My guess is that his crusade to use empty string passwords was actually just to let the common man have access to computing resources. These days, a password means much more and I'm guessing that RMS could explain why his fundamental view of security is the same still.
