BC_Programmer,
I had no idea of who he is.
I'm talking about Richard Stallman, the former "leader" (president?) of the FSF.
1. When Ulrich Drepper, maintainer of glibc, wanted to port it to Linux back when Linux was new, Richard Stallman was against it. To the point where he spread lies and rumours to other maintainers in a failed attempt to takeover the project and replace Ulrich with somebody who would do his bidding, and not port the project to Linux. Obviously that didn't happen, but to me that story just shows that he had the same ambition of control as any corporation would.
2. At one point, a maintainer wasn't able to make a change he wanted to be made, as they were busy since their wife had recently had a kid. After a number of other maintainers congratulated him, Stallman felt it was prudent to rant about how the single greatest thing anybody can do is contribute to free software (eg. Work for him) and then blabbered about overpopulation.
3. in 2013, Stallman said: "There is little evidence to justify the widespread assumption that willing participation in pedophilia hurts children.". Which echoed a similar viewpoint he expressed in 2006 when commenting on a news item regarding a new pro-pedophilia political party being formed in Sweden. And more recently he defended one of the people accused of participating in *censored* assault of minors on Epstein's private Island. Rather poorly- " the most plausible scenario is that she presented herself to him as entirely willing.".
He also decided to "change his mind" on the matter, one that he staunchly defended for decades. It seems less likely to be due to "self-reflection" on the matter and more a case of him being concerned that his free couch at MIT wouldn't be available since he had attracted so much negative attention towards MIT for his wildly inappropriate comments.
