If you don't like personal, blog-style reporting, you might want to skip this item. A few days ago, during a speech at Software Freedom Day in Boston, Richard Stallman has, at least in my book, crossed a line that I thought he would never cross.

It looks to me like he is the classic example of a 'liberator' figure.
He fought the good fight with firm belief his cause was just and right.
Then he got into power. At which point it was no longer enough to shout against the opposition saying how they were wrong but to define policy and lead by it.
Free software now has a foothold it never did, even a decade ago. Large companies and Govs are open to the idea. I feel he is still trying to 'fight the fight' instead of diplomatically pushing their (FSF) ideals forward in a manageable and acceptable manner to help make them a reality.
