RMS has made several visits to Brazil, Argentina and Peru to meet with their heads of state on getting 'Free Software' in place in these countries. So why we like to call him foul smelling and obnoxiously rude etc, he is sitting in dinners with head of state of most of South America making a difference.

So why we all like to say FSF is good for nothing zealotary, I think you should take a moment to reflect that while at times what they do can be 'corny' and RMS has little manners at times, they really do serve a purpose and its not 'how to make money selling free software' ;)
