Many in this thread are quoting his "non-free" statement yet ignorant that Stallman violates his own standard. That totally counts and proves the point.

Besides the fact he outright calls corporations evil?




You once again gave no direct argument for your accusation. If you can't or are unwilling to do so, please don't put out accusations.


Your point is that is that corporations are good? I see everyday here that corporations are in for the money so Google/Amazon and the developers should work on killing machines because shareholders demand it, CEO needs to bring more and more money, users are a resources to be exploited to gain money . Free software is defined as "Freedom for the users" not for developers so in rapport with free software corporations are evil because they will ALWAYS screw the user for money(because they MUST because shareholders want more and more money).

If you think RMS is contradicting himself then you are missinterpreting something or your logic is not working right, pleaae post the free software or RMS rules/laws here, then show the logic process you are doing to show a contradiction


At no point has "free software" meant "without pay," though it is common for distribution without a paywall. The owner may do what they like with their "property," which also means you can distribute it without cost after you buy it.

Your belief that money should not be exchanged does not mean he is a hypocrite, it means you disagree on something.
