Stallman is consistent with his thought of freedom not only has the moral high ground and credibility but also should take their warnings seriously.

Stallman’s message is valid, not in vain that warns of the pitfalls that corporations like Microsoft use and have done so much damage to our freedom.

I regret that your opinion is so simple and Manichean as that RMS is archaic or member of a sect, but instead you do not argue the issues he has written.

Think about the pitfalls of Microsoft with KKNET to try to halt the development of languages that are open and free as Java, PHP and Python and search Web applications are developed under their operating system.

Or the traps with the “open document” means docx, xlsx and pptx already proven that it is not open, her desperation to maintain control on the desktop of users and further traps the “ribbon” in its Office2007 to change the classic menu that copying itself in the 90s and since then has been shared between applications, or the traps of “Bing”, which by default puts in your browser now, webmail and other services that corporation controls.

It will never be archaic the challenge of fighting for freedom, sorry for those who do not want to fight for their rights. “There is none so blind as those who do not want to see.”

In fact, we’re not sure what a technology news site would do with such a thing as a spiritual leader.

However, we do think the creator of GNU and the free software movement has opinions that are worth hearing – and in our view he certainly has credibility (or “credability” as you put it).

But feel free to use him as your spiritual leader.

He does look an awefull lot like that Um supreme sect leader after all
