He is the founder of the FSF. He advocated free software so that it is accessible to anyone.

But sure, he is probably a dick so let us remove them...

You know what? He actually probably isn't the easiest person to be around. Just saw him once and he certainly isn't the guy to move crowds.

But let us be certain that we have very distinct definitions of what constitutes "being a dick".

His behavior in this current case is something I would consider dickish.

There would have been someone else to create something like the FSF.

Wouldn't you think so?

Can you clarify what you believe is being "dickish" in this case?
