Thanks for sharing your opinion Andrew. As I mentioned on Saturday at
Software Freedom Day when you made the same comment during my talk, I
admire the ability of great activists such as Stallman to take a firm
stance and stick with it, despite what others say.

Far from "drowning", in 28 short years, the free software movement
changed the world by writing a fully-free operating system. It may still
be "raining" proprietary software, but Stallman is paddling merrily
along in his free software canoe, whistling Hungarian folk tunes. :)
