Richard Stallman – The state of the Free Software movement
From reading the other comments here, I understand that it&#x27;s easy to pick something RMS said and say &quot;Yeah, right...&quot;<p>But you have to keep in mind that RMS advocates the free software philosophy - the complete left end of the software spectrum - the white angel on your shoulder (not the red devil on the other).<p>And while I find some of his points too radical to implement practically in my own situation, I believe it&#x27;s very important that we have someone like him in the tech world. As a result, whenever there is a RMS talk, I listen to it. And each time I gain new and valuable perspectives about free software that help guide future decisions.
