    I have met Stallman, I don’t like Stallman, Stallman is right about most thing related software licensing.

      This reads like a lawyer was holding a shotgun to your head while you were typing it. I have to assume we won’t get any more explanation than that 🤣.

        I agree with most of Stallman’s views on proprietary code. However, the one time I met him in person I found him to be off putting. I am not going to get into details because this is the internet and I know how people are.

            I am not going to shit on the man. His views and opinions about free software are worth knowing and understanding. I just would invite home to a dinner party or ask his opinion on any other topics.
