"Some New York programmers fell into the lawful but socially destructive practice of proprietary software"
DO YOU SEE ANY WORDS LIKE 'EVIL' HERE? Get a life people! RMS doesn't dictate anything and doesn't call anyone or anything 'evil'. In fact as far as I know he doesn't believe in such things.
Proprietary software and patents are destroying society and innovation. People who support prop. software are motivated by greed and power, and not caring about community as a whole. All RMS is saying that he doesn't find prop. software helping community, rather the opposite, just like murder, bribe, and so on.
To all of you out there who have worked in the propriatary software industry, I'm sorry you were put in such circumstances and only worried about your own well-being and not community in which you live in and depend upon.

Re:I'm sorry, but that remark is just too much.
