i think the Free Software movement is lost. regardless of the truth of these accusations, the supporters of the Free Software Movement are mindlessly defending RMS, who’s just an irrelevant figurehead now. the Free Software Movement is looking less like a movement and more like a personality cult
I think Stallman’s philosophy and writing are still very relevant, but I don’t see the point in holding onto him as a cult figurehead. I don’t necessarily think we need him around as a leader or a figurehead.
