This is an example of why it’s important to uphold ideals, never individuals. Stallman is a very bad man who had some very good ideas. I’d never trust him near minors or young women, and I’d never want to speak with him or be in the same room with him.
Also, GNU foundation , software, and license were product of community efforts. Just like science. We only see names because of our own biases towards the cult of personalities. Imho this is bc everyone wants to be a hero, and no one likes thinking we are just pieces playing a role that can very much be carried out by other people sooner or later. That’s why we all should be doing our greatest efforts, even if you are not the legend you may want to be in whatever field of work you’re doing…
I feel about that with many Software Devs that do great stuff but I cant help but think they must be pretty horrible socially. Not that level actually though.
