Hmm. Free Software (GNU/Linux) is currently the ONLY challenger to the
worlds LARGEST monolopy, but his execution was poor?

Song long hair and a beard make you not likeable. (Hans please dont come

You have the wrong idol here sir. RMS flat out says in his gospel he
doesnt give a crap if you can make a dime or not. He's says if you ahve
to work flipping burgers to do society good, so be it.
The one you SHOULD be demanding this from is ESR who is the one who tried
to get people to buy into the fact using Free Software (under the Open
Source label) will make you rich. Ask him for his stock portfolio
sometime and see how his 'execution' worked.
