Get back under your bridge! The billy goats will be along shortly!
Seriously, without RMS, you would never have heard of this thing
called "linux" because it would be a little toy you would run in an
emulated environment, or maybe on an embedded microcontroller. Not to
mention, he's a very good, rational speaker.
Linus is sounding like a wingnut lately, though, with his
poorly-reasoned rants against the GPL3 drafts. (ZOMG the
megacorporations will stop buying us poniez!)
Screw the opensource community and their hypocritical wannabeism,
software freedom day is about the Free Software community, and RMS is
the perfect spokesperson.
