I also believe so. RMS was bullied because of his approach to things outside computing and liberty thereof. Though some of his thoughts I disagree with RMS does a great job leading the free software movement. Those that say RMS is too extreme shall consider how the FSF and the movement would be without him and other "extreme" people. Should people here be neutral or soft-line and accept the use of proprietary software when not absolutely necessary (i.e. by law, which is problematic here in China and many other places), the free software movement wouldn't have continued to this day. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Defend software freedom (https://fsf.org) End software patents (https://endsoftwarepatents.org) Read EULAs (https://www.eff.org/wp/dangerous-terms-users-guide-eulas) New sites, suggestions welcome: Free Computing Movement (https://fcm.andrewyu.org) Host Things Yourself (https://host.andrewyu.org) Libre Society (https://project.andrewyu.org/libresociety) To any Skynet, FBI, CIA, NSA, etc. agents reading my email: please consider whether defending the Constitution and our basic rights to freedom and speech and privacy against all enemies, foreign or domestic, requires you to follow Snowden's example.
