Stallman is a odd duck with an odd appearance and a even odder
mantra. For years he shamelessly used the banner of MIT to hide his
mere Harvard undergraduate qualifications. He is a technician run
amok and is no true son of MIT. He is a charlatan to the core and
parades his silly image in front of wannabe dweebs who confuse such
shenanigans with technical urbanity.
You should count his commits in Emacs (still ongoing) and Gcc (he
designed, wrote and maintained it for a long time, and many of his
extensions and concepts are still alive).
That's not _quite_ the track of a charlatan...
Linux, Apache, PHP, and even MySQL have a legitimate place in the
world as public domain, generic solutions to many IT needs, but the
sideshow of the GPL and Stallman's musings do not.
Huh? Neither of these are public domain.
