  4. Stallman slams Slashdot; Slashdot silent by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Wow. Apparently over 500 people submitted a Forbes story where Richard Stallman strongly criticizes Slashdot and Newsforge for not supporting open source, and Slashdot editors refused to post the story:

    http://www.forbes.com/technology/2005/08/26/open-l inux-proprietary-cz_dl_0826open.html?partner=yahoo tix

    It would be embarassing, wouldn't it? Here's Richard Stallman with such gems:

    Stallman says it bugs him that VA Software-owned Web sites, like SourceForge and NewsForge, take money from Microsoft to run "smear campaign" ads on its sites. And he is not impressed when folks at places like Slashdot and NewsForge claim he is their hero.

    "They dwell on how much they admire me or my principles, because they want said admiration to pass as a substitute for doing the right thing," Stallman says.

    Would any Slashdotters and NewsForgers dare to live up to Stallman's ideals and bite the closed source hand that feeds them? Would any of these cyber Che Guevaras push their employer to "Do the right thing"?

    Probably not. But no doubt they'll keep smack-talking about "openness" and "freedom"--and denouncing the "enemies" of the movement on VA Software Web sites.
