I would not compare Richard Stallman with Roy, that's for sure, after
reading the Wiki entry on the former: "[Stallman] - His doctoral
pursuits in physics became a casualty of this calling; however,
Stallman has since been awarded six honorary doctorates and two
honorary professorships.(see list below)"
Well, I think that is a lot overstated. He has no degree from MIT. Period.
He spent a partial term in a graduate program at MIT for physics but
completed nothing as far as a degree is concerned. He pursued the the PhD
in physics for just a few months, long enough, apparently to dissuade him
from that goal. Shestowitz claims to have done more than that.
