"I’ve read many historical books on the subject [of Open Source], including [Richard M Stallman]’s biography and many older writings.

And something struck me.

RMS 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 RMS or FSF. The problem is us. The problem is that we didn’t listen."

@mike Completely agree. Unfortunately Stallman has very questionable thoughts on some topics, but regarding sofware his vision was so clear since the beginning, and his predictions are coming true one after the other. I remember reading "Free Software, Free Society" 15 years ago and been blown away by his reasoning. I've been a free software advocate since then.
