He wrongly associates RMS with "open source"
Tech Evangelists and open source
,----[ Quote ]
| Richard Stallman is the poster boy for open source, and is viewed by many as
| nothing more than a nuisance. Why is this? He’s a bright man. Hired by IBM at
| an early age he wound up creating one of the first pre-processors for the IBM
| System/360. At some point, however, he discovered open source and began
| extolling its benefits. He even created the Copyleft and was the main writer
| of the GPL. With such a background, why is he considered nothing more than a
| raving mad man at times?
|
| Not that I compare myself to RMS, but he and I have something in common. We
| are both very passionate about Linux and/or open source. So much so that we
| begin to see the hurdles and challenges of open source software as “features”
| or “part of the fun”. It’s easy to forget, when challenges are part of what
| make life a joy, that most people do not want challenges. Challenges make
| work harder and, therefore, less productive. But evangelists, nay,
| cheerleaders, are blinded to this.
