Do you have any strong opinions on Richard Stallman? Is it good that he's back at the FSF?

He has done a lot for open source, its hard to imagine where we would be today without his contributions. Hes also a weird and controversial figure, but I couldnt care less about that pointless drama.

Very complicated figure, and we should weigh his contributions to the FOSS movement against his negatives, rather than defaulting to a simplistic worship or demonize.
