The Stallman factor
The FSF wants to proclaim the good news of free software's benefits. Its tactics cause it to miss the mark

Summary
Mention RMS in a Linux crowd and you'll find people who love him, hate him, and those who simply roll their eyes. People call him a whacko, egotist, genius, saint, and communist. Precious few are ambivalent about Richard Stallman. (1,200 words)
