I've said several times, most of them here, that for as fanatic as many people consider rms to be, some fanaticism, at the core, is pretty much non-optional.

Remember Tom Peters' favorite maxim: "There is no limit, I have learned, to what can be accomplished by a monomaniac with a mission."

I can't think of anyone else that describes better than rms.

You may not want to license your code under the GPL, and that's fine. But, IMNSHO, Linux and all that has followed on from it exists *precisely* because of the GPL, and me'at is off to the dyuke.
