Richard Stallman On The Death Of Steve Jobs

A few people getting all hot and bothered over what Richard Stallman, creator of the GNU [free software] Project, has said about Steve Jobs. Let's have a look what he said:
06 October 2011 (Steve Jobs) 
Steve Jobs, the pioneer of the computer as a jail made cool, designed to sever fools from their freedom, has died. 
As Chicago Mayor Harold Washington said of the corrupt former Mayor Daley, "I'm not glad he's dead, but I'm glad he's gone." Nobody deserves to have to die - not Jobs, not Mr. Bill, not even people guilty of bigger evils than theirs. But we all deserve the end of Jobs' malign influence on people's computing. 
Unfortunately, that influence continues despite his absence. We can only hope his successors, as they attempt to carry on his legacy, will be less effective.
Oh for god's sake. Some really have it bad for Jobs. I recommend to these people that they go into a corner with a picture of Jobs and have a good wank for themselves.
