    Good article. Despite Stallman’s being an asshole, he was right about a great many things.

      Stallman is the type of guy–in any case–where i think you can remove the ideas from the person without issue (quite literally here, since part of his whole deal is copyleft). it is the case that he is extremely influential in how these ideas have been formulated and manifest,[1] but they’re really not things that live or die by him as a person.


      1. probably to their detriment at times, but that’s a sidenote here not worth pursuing ↩︎
