|
 |
Eric S. Raymond, (a.k.a ESR) is the author of The Cathedral and the Bazaar, the Jargon File, and founder of the Open Source Initiative. But this isn't what makes him interesting. Rather, ESR is an (arguably) high profile hacker who has been accused by GPL zealots for weakening the free software movement, and selling out to Microsoft in order to meet his favourite science fiction writer. Hence, it should be quite obvious to all that he and Richard Stallman do not get along.
In a sense, ESR is the mirror image of Richard Stallman. Yes, they are both prone to being uncompromising bigots, who smell horribly. However, rather than being a left-wing hippie like Richard Stallman, ESR is a gun-toting, libertarian with terrible personal hygiene, who also supports the invasion of Iraq. He is also a Wiccan. Reseachers believe that ESR and Richard Stallman were originally one and the same until God decided to split their souls in half.
ESR's recent quest is to convince everyone that the GPL is no longer needed. Many detect that he is merely trolling in an attempt to stay relevent.
