I feel like everyone's just too polite to say that Richard Stallman's just another programmer.  What has he actually done?  He's tried to attach himself to the coattails of Linux with his infamous "interjection," but his own Unix effort took 30 years and is mostly unused.  What else?  Emacs?  Does the author of Notepad++ get worldwide recognition for his efforts?

I'm not saying the man's useless, just that there are people who do more for less recognition.  Enough zealotry already.

Operating systems are sets of applications, therefore you must call Linux GNU/Linux don't bother crediting any of the other thousand projects that are used though.
Proof that if you keep repeating the same ludicrous things over and over people will eventually consider it to be the truth but I suppose that's how religion works anyways.
Also the fact that he calls his stuff free when the GPL is in fact all about placing arbitrary restrictions on code.
