RMS Asks Miguel to Explain Himself

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the and-the-tempers-red-flare dept.

phaze3000 writes "RMS, responding to questions from the audience at the World Social Forum in Porto Alegre, Brazil last week, has asked Miguel de Icaza to explain himself to the Free software community about comments made last week that Gnome should be based on .NET in the future. More details at Brazillian site Hotbits and in The Register." I find this amusing.

    Did Miguel really think that RMS would ignore the fact that a project, possibly the "showcase" project for GNU is going in this direction?

    He's on worse crack than the moderators :)

    Has that sucker ever written a line of code for the GNOME project?
    If not, shut up, RMS

    Can't slashdot devote a news section to "RMS ranting"? It's always the same, it's always narrow minded, it's always useless. I'd really like to ignore it.

    RMS is just pissed he didn't get on the GNOME board and is just bitching from the sidelines.

    Miguel de Icaza also deserves the same respect



    He is a wannabe M$ employee. He says so himself. The only reason he isn't a Gates lackey is because of a visa problem.

    MS is a business - it is not inherently evil nor has Bill Gates been conclusively identified as Cthulu-Jr



    You are correct. Gates is NOT Cthulhu-Jr, he is Cthulhu. The big mamba, the big cheese, THE Cthulhu. He IS inherently evil. He wants to control everything because he has a real, true, megalomania problem. Really. He is a megalomaniac and control freak perv.
