That you admired Richard Stallman when you were a young coder just entering the world of open source development is no mark against you -- abusers are like that.

Where judgment of you comes in is now -- you're an adult, you know your asshole from your elbow, and you have been shown evidence of who the man actually is. What you say and do in response to that -- that's what defines what kind of person you are.

@mos_8502 Yep. "Free Software, Free Society" remains a good piece of work in the same way that "The God Delusion" does.
Both of them are good writing that was influential on me at the time, written by people I once admired and now despise.

@diffrentcolours @mos_8502 Free software is still a valid concept when you remove RMS and the FSF from it. Want to rename it? Fine. How about copyleft software?
