So when a project is successful this is precisely the time when you should change the license under which it has become so successful??? The subtext in much of the criticism is clear - GNOME should grow up and get its hair cut, even if RMS won't. But the success of the GNU project is not down just to programming skill - it is down to the license. Think BSD vs Linux for a minute.
RMS has opinions he fights for - his aim is, and has been for years, free software. He'll try to pursuade people to write free software, he'll fight elections for it, he'll write it himself - I mean thats just terrible....
