Obscurity???!

FSF is a _fenomenally_ successful organisation in achieving their mission. Free Software is everywhere, it has spawned endless businessess and has completely changed the way people create software.

No thanks to the FSF or GNU. Then phenomenal success has been in spite of, not because of, the last 20 years of FSF (RMS) pedantry.

Absolutely thanks to FSF and GNU, who started this all. And their pedantry is the gold standard people should strive for. Not everyone can achieve such software purity, but everyone should know that it is the right thing.
