Sure, every idealist believes in some kind of utopia. What RMS has
shown is that it's possible for one to be an idealist, yet succeed in
the real world without compromising one's ideals. I find this
refreshing in the face of all the, "Let's face it: in the real world
blah blah blah..." crap I see spouted all over the place wrt Free
Software.
