I'm tired of this Stallman bashing.

My uncle bought a condo in a gated community. He's a carpenter all his life. They said he could make changes, but they won't give him the blueprints to his place. He's quite disappointed.

Without people like Stallman, we whould have nothing.

I have nothing more to say on this subject.

I suppose fellow residents at your Uncle's condo wouldn't take too kindly to him attempting to reverse-engineer the place in order to make improvements, would they? ;-)

If your uncle needs blueprints to make the kinds of changes he has in mind, then I'm really glad I'm not living in the same complex as him. It's a CONDO. If your uncle wants to make structural changes then he needs to buy a structure that he personally owns 100%.

Stallman has been known to make mistakes before. But, I agree, the heat he took in the comments here was mostly unwarranted.
