Dear RMS "Matthew" Stallman, I have been a fan of your operating system for many years, and I have run for many years. [more text] By the way, when will version 4.3 be released?
Love and waffles,

Hey RMS, freedom of the code matters more than the licence.
Send that. Expect a huge rant in your inbox.

I don't know what you're expecting but he'll agree with you. He believes that all users should be free and that a licence is just a means to the end which is free code.
The first widely distributed version of GNU Emacs was 15.34, which appeared in 1985. (Versions 2 to 12 never existed. Earlier versions of GNU Emacs had been numbered "1.x.x", but sometime after version 1.12 the decision was made to drop the "1", as it was thought the major number would never change. Version 13, the first public release, was made on March 20, 1985.)

No, he won't.
Tanenbaum and RMS had a talk about exactly that thing. RMS went nuts.
And in fact, I agree with RMS and *not* with "freedom of the code matters more than the licence."
freedom of the code does not mean freedom of the user, which is really really bad.
