Their site reads like gospel/propoganda/ignorant american 'freedom' crap.

They've done alot to hinder unidealistic/realistic adoption of OSS.

As mentioned earlier in this thread, all stallman has done is emacs, the worlds most obfusicated text editor. Sure you can learn to use it (and feel all 1337), and be better for it, but it really is a rediculous program.

OSS is what's crap its only one feature of Free Software.

I am sorry to tell you reality. The GPL and FSF is what make GNU/Linux exist and so great.

If you can do better then Emacs under the GPLv3 be my guess. Emacs is so rediculous ( make haters of free software red in the face due to there ridiculous lies ) that to this days it still maintained and supported :

Nobody is forcing you to use GNU/Linux and the GPL.
