    Stallman eats things off his feet, is a terminal creep around women, and a terrible songwriter. But he’s been correct about software licensing, how companies will use and abuse Free software, and enormously consistent about it over the years.

    So yeah, he kinda sucks, but when he talks about licensing and freedom, I listen.
