Sure, RMS has turned the FSF into a religious organization fighting
everything that doesn't follow his pure belief!  And of course, he is the
only true god in this religion.

His recent rants include those against PHP4 as you find it on the license
page cited in this thread (because PHPs new license allows its developers to
sell plug-ins for it so they can make a bit of money).  Many of his other
statements over the years are legally questionable and close to libel.  He
has publicly damaged the POV-Team - anybody remembering the incident on some
Linux show a few years go, which was reported somewhere in these groups?

So yes, I am sure he is a trustworthy person!
