RMS on SCO, Distributions, DRM

Letter writes "Open for Business has an interview with GNU founder and free software zealot Richard M. Stallman (RMS) discussing the SCO situation, the single RMS-approved free Linux distribution and DRM in the Linux kernel. RMS also describes non-free software as a 'predatory social system that keeps people in a state of domination and division.'"

    Let the slander commence!
    I'd like to see some nice ad-hominems please, countered with `argument from authority`. Under no circumstances should any facts pollute this thread!

    Fuck RMS, call it Debian Linux and piss him off. I NEVER write that bullshit GNU/Linux because he's a dirty hippie and doesn't deserve the credit for ANY of the open source movement. The Linux kernel and *BSD distros are the reason it has been as popular as it is.

  4. Gnome SUCKS! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    We still recommend GNOME first of all because it's part of the GNU Project, but that's without prejudice to any other free software developers. The more they want to cooperate with us, the more we can cooperate. WHY?? Gnome sucks.

    there is a whole world out there , 191 other countries that dont really care what this yank thinks and he certainly doesnt speak for those people who choose to give their hard work away for free

    i guess in the land of waco's , cults and gun loving nutjobs he fits right in, he even looks like a tramp i wouldnt even give him the change out of my pocket

    get your hair cut dirtbag

    It should be obvious by now - he's just a flaming cockhead and is so far removed from reality that nothing will ever be good enough unless it's obscure and unknown. RMS needs to get a job and come back down to earth before he disappears up his own asshole.

    Of course people like you who pirate all their commercial software are excepted from all wrong-doing.

    Shithead.

    It's not about money it's about power. He gets a power trip when he renames someone elses operating system and actually manages to get people to listen.

    You are a fucking cunt. How dare you lump a spoiled brat in with people like Gandhi?

    (Did you, by the way, mean to write Martin Luther King rather than Martin Luther? Because Martin Luther didn't fight for shit. Of course, technically neither did Martin Luther King, but he was a great leader of an oppressed people in a difficult time. Martin Luther, on the other hand, was just a loudmouth.)

    When RMS marches to the fucking sea and makes fucking salt with his bare fucking hands, we'll talk about whether or not he's a great man. When he goes on a fucking hunger strike--and simply coming up for air between Hot Pockets does not count--we'll talk about whether or not he's a great man. When he gets fucking ASSASSINATED because of what he believes in, we'll talk about whether or not he's a great man.

    Until then, he, like you, is just a fucking spoiled little cunt.

    God, I hope you get cancer and die.

    he's just a loser that's bitter at the rest of the world because his life is such a total fuck-up ... anal? that's not the right word to describe RMS ... SORE LOSER ... now that's more of an accurate phrase. RMS - dosen't that just sound like a disease?

    Hi, I got RMS ... Eak - Get the fuck away from me you homo!
