Actually, no, I am criticizing RMS over his opinion.


He's supposed to have dedicated his life to such matters as free software.


His arguments towards not recommnending OpenBSD are just a front. They

sound logical, but he could interpret and present things differently.


The real reason he doesn't recommend OpenBSD is because OpenBSD represents

a viable alternative to his political views, and a very loud counter-voice

to the `GPL world'.


I've thought some more about it, and I cannot find any charitable

interpretation of Stallman's words.


You've got a choice of:

1/ complete idiot

2/ senile old fool disconnected from reality

3/ dangerous political activist with a hidden agenda
