    He is looking for love... I'm a single atheist white man, 54, reputedly intelligent, with unusual interests in politics, science, music and dance. I'd like to meet a woman with varied interests, curious about the world, comfortable expressing her likes and dislikes (I hate struggling to guess), delighting in her ability to fascinate a man and in being loved tenderly, who values joy, truth, beauty and justice more than "success"--so we can share bouts of intense, passionately kind awareness of each other, alternating with tolerant warmth while we're absorbed in other aspects of life. My 23-year-old child, the Free Software Movement, occupies most of my life, leaving no room for more children, but I still have room to love a sweetheart if she doesn't need to spend time with me every day. I spend a lot of my time traveling to give speeches, often to Europe, Asia and Latin America; it would be nice if you were free to travel with me some of the time. If you are interested, write to rms at stallman dot org and we'll see where it leads. I am touched and surprised with no political rhetoric within his personal ad. commandant Stallman

        There was a joke on this subject some time ago: "Young, poor, attractive woman, I'm looking for a man with exact opposite attributes".

          That $500,000 genius grant sure helped cultivate that ideological purity, didn't it Richard?

            I've always felt he's something of a nutcase, normally harmless but like any nutcase once they start to get some followers it never bodes well for the rest of us.

              Harmless... Maybe in the beginning... Now, he is dangerous. He wields wild influence both politically and legally, and scares the crap out of me. I liken him loosely to Manson (without the murderous tendency) he could order my head in a box, GPL army, will come and fulfill his prophecy! I think and actually hope in the near future that a clear distinction between GPL and OS comes to play. GPL is now less about software and more about political positioning. All the while great OS licenses exist in BSD, AFL and others. In fact the GPL hopefully will isoloate zealots and their works so that real OS innovation can be achieved via BSD, AFL etc...

                Yeah Larry Lessig is in that camp as well, it's why I cancelled my wired subscription many years ago when they started shitting on my livelihood by making these guys out to be saints and giving them such a big platform with no balance to their viewpoint.
