The introduction of this paper "Anarchy and Source Code..." has a passage that gave me pause:

Richard Stallman, one of the most exceptional persons of the Free Software Movement saw himself as an anarchist. We should not imagine the anarchists of the Free Software Movement to be like the cartoon image: A scruffy looking lunatic, with a crazy glint in his eyes and bristling with weapons.

I appreciate the point, but Stallman is certainly scruffy-looking and perhaps not the most grounded person you'll see. At least he didn't use Eric "Geeks with Guns" Raymond as an example

Yes, you're right. And I've forgotten to mention Bruce "It's Time to Talk About Free Software Again" Perens. ;-)
