- Take a look at some more of his writings. I think you'll find that he
- charges for his consulting services in order to help finance the FSF

- Before you staunchly defend RMS, you should ensure that you are
- behaving in accordance with his ultimate goals. One of these is to
- reduce the salaries of programmers. Ask for a pay cut. Don't be a
- hypocrite.
