Yeah, I have a long history with Stallman, and he is not a pleasant person. I distanced myself from him a long time ago. I like the GNU GPL and I use the GNU GPL v2 for my own work, but Stallman is a problem and I avoid him. When Stallman left the FSF a year and a half ago, I hoped the FSF would become more welcoming. But after the FSF Board voted Stallman back into the FSF, it seems clear the FSF thinks his behavior is okay. And I'm not okay with that. I made a brief statement about my views as a news item on the FreeDOS website last week, and posted a longer statement on my personal FreeDOS page. In brief: I do not condone the FSF's decision to put Stallman back, I will not associate with the FSF or GNU, and I will not participate in any events that include Stallman. https://www.freedos.org/jhall/ I have also signed the open letter to the FSF.
