This proves that FSF is equivalent to some 'extremist' group. I am a strong Free Software advocate and a fan; but that doesn't mean I am against the proprietary stuff; and even if one is against something or someone, death is not the time to make such absurd comments.
Steve Jobs or Bill Gates did not point a gun on each of our head and asked us to use their products. Did they? It is their freedom to make their products; as it is our freedom to choose an iMAc, Microsoft, or GNU/Linux. I understand that the comment, '"I'm not glad he's dead, but I'm glad he's gone." was not made by RMS, but he just quoted Chicago Mayor Harold Washington. But I don't think any sensible man would write *Steve Jobs, the pioneer of the computer as a jail made cool, designed to sever fools from their freedom, has died *and *But we all deserve the end of Jobs' malign influence on people's computing. Unfortunately, that influence continues despite his absence.* Ok, if RMS was so much against Apple and Microsoft, why does he provide GNU/Emacs for Windows and MacOSX?? I once asked him about this and he replied "That gives Windows users a taste of freedom. If the page does not explain this point, it should. So I will take a look." Nothing has been done in this regard too!! So RMS is no God and I'd call Linux Linux and NOT GNU/Linux from now! Linux Rox!!
