I find it sadly amusing that Richard Stallman, who has repeatedly
attempted to wield his own sword in a fashion intended to force
specific behaviors on others, would accuse Wolfram of attempting to
gain power over others.  And I find it quite unsurprising that, in so
calling the kettle black, he cannot resist painting himself as holy
and his opponents as the embodiment of darkest evil.

Give me a break.
