[clue-talk] RMS and OpenBSD

[Sean LeBlanc]

So...maybe I should hand over my nerd badge, but I haven't seen anything
about this until I decided to buy OpenBSD 4.3 CD over at SoftPro to support
OpenBSD and because I needed CD and didn't want to scout around for
"alternative ISOs". 

I crack it open and the booklet has this ongoing comic (or is it a graphic
novel? :) ) that seems to be lampooning RMS...sure enough, I google around a
bit and find this:

I also ran into an older story about how he was shooting Linus in the back
over the GPLv3 or something...but didn't look into details at all.

I know I pondered here on clue-talk whether RMS had jumped the shark back
when the FSF was proposing the Genius Bar denial of service thing, but now
I'm wondering if the guy shouldn't consider stepping aside. 

He's done a lot, I like Emacs a lot, I appreciate him creating GCC very
much, etc....but seriously, who needs all the "friendly fire" over dogma?
