You have as yet to prove that he advocates stealing. All you've done
is quoted him encouraging people to share software. Or are you such an
extremist that you think that no one shold be allowed to share
software? If so, you're as bad as the worst of the publishers, because
you're actively trying to take authors rights away from them. That
makes you a much bigger threat to programmers than Stallman.
