This attack on Richard Stallman feels much like a witch hunt to me; he's being vilified, and what he's actually said and done is being buried under a bunch of mass hysteria. It's sad to see; I have a lot of respect for him and it pains me to see people calling for his head doing what he's always done in questioning the status quo. He just made the mistake of questioning the wrong thing, not of any grand crime, as he seems to be accused of; it seems like he'll be misquoted and raged at until he disappears, and I think in doing so, the world is being done a disservice.
