Richard Stallman was right since the very beginning. Every warning, every prophecy realised. And, worst of all, he had the solution since the start. The problem is not Richard Stallman or the Free Software Foundation. The problem is us. The problem is that we didn’t listen.

    Failing to state their incompatibility is logically identical to stating their compatibility. This is trivial.

        To torture this stupid banana analogy until it’s relevant again, if you spend your entire life working against fascist coups in latin america but you don’t have a problem with the chiquita banana company, your advocacy rings kind of hollow
