Richard Stallman was right since the very beginning. Every warning, every prophecy realised. And, worst of all, he had the solution since the start. The problem is not Richard Stallman or the Free Software Foundation. The problem is us. The problem is that we didn’t listen.

    Stallman is one of my biggest inspirations. It’s nice that there was a guy who was right about so much for so long when the vast majority of people around him were wrong. I don’t think he’s right about everything, but he’s right about most things. I think he could go further in some ways. For example, I think copyright and patent laws should die.
