No I'm not burned by the stallman episode and I don't see any reason to be
so.
Both hosts stated their point of view and discussed with stallman about it; I
don't see any problem with that, even if their opinion is not my opinion.
RMS states his opinion in a very strict way without bothering himself with
some psychology.
And I think this is a bit of an issue. Opensource deals with this issue in
the wrong way. They don't talk about the right points any more because it is
easier in a psychological way.
I'm sure you can say everything rms thinks but in a more subtle way.
The left one (I think it's brian) is right when he says rms don't has much
practical ideas how to move from proprietary software to free software.
Is this wrong? No, but it leaves a problem remaining.
Someone has to come up with such an idea.
Most people ask: how can I behave in a moral way so that it has effects in
reality.
RMS asks: how can I behave in a moral way.
He doesn't care whether it has some effects or not.
And asking this question can be misleading.
Perhaps he wouldn't have worked on the gnu project this way.
But in fact, I can use my pc in freedom because he did.
So perhaps his approach is more sensible than some other.
