I've tweeted for many years about how awful Richard "RMS" Stallman is - the pedophilia, the ableism, the misogyny. Inevitably, each time I do, dudes examine my receipts & then say "all those incidents are from years ago! he's changed now!" NOPE.https://medium.com/@selamie/remove-richard-stallman-fec6ec210794 …

Stallman was the founder - and is STILL the President and Board Chair - of the Free Software Foundation. The FSF is enormously influential. Among other activities, it publishes the software licenses used by much of the 'copyleft' world - the GPL, LGPL, and AGPL licenses.

I've been a diehard free & open source software user, contributor, and backer since college in the 90s. But at this point, I would rather run proprietary software that I can NEVER see or change if the alternative is to run software licensed by the FSF.

I'm done. The free software community looks the other way while they build their empires on licenses that sustain Stallman's power.

Hey
@fsf - fire your President and Board Chair. He just sent an email to the MIT computer science community claiming that sex with an underaged girl is not rape. I know you know about him and his 'problematic' ideas already. Just letting you know that WE KNOW.23 replies 482 retweets 1,400 likesShow this thread -
So, you are trying to make the fsf to throw Stallman in the fire with some tweets. Hmm, classy.

My dude, everyone who's ever met him knows he's a misogynist creep. He just sits there and blathers on right in front of you.

I am aware of his fame. So what? That does not mean that he deserves to be thrown to the lions. He might have awful opinions, but he fights for free software. His "crime" is to be insensitive on some issues that has nothing to do with free software.

You’re victim blaming and defending a misogynistic creep

Apparently free software is more important than women

In free software activism, free software is more important. of course. Also more important than war, global warming, and $something_you_like_or_hate. If you don't care about free software, is something that is up to you.
