An anonymous reader writes "Richard Stallman has written a piece on the state of free software and where it needs to go now, in celebration of GNU turning 20 today. It's available both on NewsForge and Linux.com."

That's because Brad Kuhn is a crackhead just like Stallman. Someone needs to tell them both, "Cut your hair, get a job, and put down the pipe."

Then according to you, free software is nothing but a geek developer's circle-jerk.
Also, by going "bwah aha haha" to the concept of payment for one's efforts you show yourself to be a spoilt little brat living of mommy and daddy's earnings.
So the HURD community is in good shape, then?

HURD is open, how's the progress of that?
The Gimp is open, how's that compare to evil, closed Photoshop?
How do the free, wonderful, super-terrific open-source games compare to those nasty closed commercial games?
Its sounds more like you're the one drinking the kool-aid.

Terrific. I attempt to respond to the old 'open source is the way!!!!!', but some moderators don't like the answer I give.
Only on slashdot can an opinion be wrong, and the facts are irrelevant.

You've only demonstrated to me that Free Software is a religion to you and the slashbots.
I use closed and open software, I see value in both. The idea that only free software can improve humanity or betters society reminds me of the socialist progaganda the hippie college students pass out.
It's really fascinating to see such disdain the free software folks have against people who used closed software. Do you not think we know what we are doing?
It's just possible that people aren't buying this utopian fantasy of yours, and choose to use and purchase what they want. Freedom works both ways. Just don't feed me the bullshit that we are lesser people because of it.

bwah aha haha.
hackers want more knowlegdge, not cash.
you can't buy respect. you earn it.
