Thanks Trevor for your comments about Stallman. Well written.
I have not really read much recently about Stallman but I agree with a lot of what he is for but not quite as rigid or doctrinaire . Your comment about Stallman being far... left got me curious since I really never have read anything about his political views. From his website this page from March 2021 talks about what he feels are necessary changes in Society. Some of them are already what we enjoy in Canada and I did not find much to disagree with. Clearly left but certainly not far left.

I defended Stallman vigorously, and that's really saying something as I'm fully aware Stallman is far, far (far far far FAR) left and I am unabashedly on the right.
