    RMS is one of the few who can be what he want's. If he want to snort a spaghetti through his nose on some IT-manager-who-invited-the-man-banket.. he does it... and everyone will clap into their sweaty hands.. because RMS is the man.. and he doesn't NEED to use buzzwords.. they know that too... because he's the dude.. the man...

    And his assertion that "VC" (Viet Cong) money is good for open source just proves it! I didn't want to believe all the stuff that Microsoft has been saying, but this is just too much!
