Eben's threatened to ruin careers and to sue people. He's given legal advice that contradicted an organisation he was general counsel for.
Eben Moglen has threatened and bullied multiple community members during his time in free software. Consider that before working with him.

He represents everything that's wrong with the free software community - a powerful man who can get away with things because he's powerful.

His victims are almost always people who can't speak out publicly because he holds power over them or they didn't want to hurt the community

Eben at FSM 2000 was saying how much Linus was despicable for not following his PoV of the FSF philosophy. Since then I am a Linus Fanboy.

Enemy of your enemy?

Remember the early days of Free Software; Linus is an inspiration the one coding usable stuff without doing moral statements. A real coder!

Since we are sharing our coder heros, I need to mention Lenart Pottering. For me Linus is making moral statements with wich I don't agree.

Ahh good old times of deterministic failure. For me the pulseaudio and systemd have solved more deterministic problems than they introduced.

would you please name at least one or two real problems solved by systemd?

but don't mention fake boot speedup. and hierarchical ini-like config spread over all filesystems is not improvement over simple scripts
