Although I strongly disagree with Stallman on this particular issue, I do recognize and honor his massive contributions to F/OSS. I expect that either (1) Stallman or one of his people will show me the error of my ways or (2) I will learn that Stallman was simply having a bad day (the man is human, after all!).

Either way, the parent post is completely out of line and completely inappropriate. It is impossible to overstate the value of Stallman's GPL, so I would much prefer that Stallman at least leave a copy of GPL on this planet.

As to calling Stallman "stupid"... This is so far out of line that words completely fail me.

Any chance of moderating the parent post? It certainly qualifies as inflammatory, inappropriate, and offensive (to me, anyway).
