RMS also has personal views where he believes pedophilia and necrophilia
should be legalized, provided all parties involved are in agreement. I
have personally written to him and verified this quote is accurate, and
not taken out of context. It is his belief.

Search for "pedophilia" or "necrophilia" and you'll find that section.
It is for this reason that I have started a new free software
foundation, called Liberty Software Foundation. This all happened last
week, so I am still figuring things out and getting started.

I wanted an official vehicle to continue the work I've found beneficial
from the FSF, but without any affiliation with Stallman. Support is
welcomed.
Best regards,

RMS is very different from "the CEO of a large proprietary company".
His objective is social/ethical and not financial at all. RMS makes a
*very modest* living by defending his viewpoints. Given his
exceptional technical skills, he would be rich today if he would have
gone to the path of proprietary companies.
RMS does not "need you to buy his product". Otherwise he would
precisely do what you seem to regret: he would not "badmouth" large
companies so that these companies invite him.
His viewpoints are *separated* from those of the FSF. They are on
stallman.org and go far beyond free software (whereas the FSF
exclusively focuses on free software).
