Hello Sinu ,
It is an "awkward" reaction from RMS, as it can drive away people from FSF.
Earlier , his "fanatic" followers
were doing the stuff and I am seeing this as another instance where leader has
to echo the sentiments of his followers.
As far as I am concerned , Steve Jobs brought back MAC OS X into the mainstream
and It has helped lot of people
in Kerala to make a good living through it. Now , there are close to five
thousand iOS developers in Kerala alone.
Ideally , we programmers should love people like Bill (for making computing
ubiquitous ) , Stall ( for paving way
for Linux to become a Industrial strength OS through GNU tools) and Jobs (for
making computing a pleasant activity ) for making
this world better for us.
regards
Praseed Pai

Subject: [ILUG-Cochin.org] RMS and Jobs
The world has just lost one of the greatest technological icon - Steve Jobs.
The world is mourning over it and even Apple's rivals like Samsung and Google
have postponed their product launches to show
respect http://youngblah.com/?p=1740
But here is RMS making one of the craziest remarks like "I'm glad he's
gone" http://stallman.org/archives/2011-jul-oct.html#06_October_2011_%28Steve_Jobs%29
Read this one
