Still not sure what to make of this guy. He's done some great things but has such extreme opinions about everything I find it hard to trust his judgement. And frequent appearances on RT aren't helping.
>extreme opinions about everything
People keep claiming this, but just as reliably, history keeps proving RMS right. The clarity of vision that he displays in understanding the significance of certain developments in computing well before the rest of us is astounding.
The fact that he approaches things logically and with consistency should only add to his credibility. Instead, he is dismissed as a kook because his personal habits are peculiar by some people's standards. It is a flaw in human nature that enables this to happen, and when it does, it is to our collective detriment.

I think RMS is a light tower. A guide in some ways, but something you want to stay well clear of...
RMS turns out to be right about everything except human beings.
