Stallman has never received a cent for being the president of the Free
Software Foundation. He is not "living a luxurious life". Quite the
opposite. There is little to enjoy of spending hundreds of hours a year in
planes. And he does not seek money. He only earns what he is given to
deliver speeches.
He only asks for what he needs to survive during his stays (an accommodation,
which needs not be a hotel, meals and an Internet connection twice a day). I
know that for a fact. I took care of his venue in Brazil in May. I sought
(and found) ways to pay him a per-diem allowance but he never asked for it.
Finally, Stallman is very far from being lazy. He is a hard worker. He
basically accepts all requests for interview that he receives. Whenever he
has a few minutes at his disposal (e.g., in transportation), he takes his
laptop and works (mainly replying to the hundreds of e-mails he receives
every day and writing political notes on his site).
In the end (again, that is a separate point), you are not only hypocrite but
ignorant (or a lier?) too.
Finally, studying and being vocal about the problems we face as users of
computers is not "nothing". Through his speeches, Stallman motivates the
development of solutions: more code is written thanks to his speeches that
what he could achieve alone.
