Mr Brad Templeton recently posted a message on which he said:

  "I'm glad that I don't think RMS will succeed.  If he gets his way,
   unix will be the last operating system, as nobody will upgrade it
   for a long, long time."
 
He goes further, and claims that the news software is not being improved
because it's free.

I don't agree. I think there are plenty of people in the world, and in
this country, that would be glad to work on GNU, for free.

But more than this, I don't like this desire of failure against GNU. Why
not let people build things? I'm sick of seeing those that destroy, which
is far easier. Let the people decide whether GNU is worthwhile!

I which success to GNU, and I hope we all can contribute to it.
