He seems to have long ago become a theologian instead of a practitioner.

I'm glad for all the components that make up our Linux and OSS systems. 
Lose any major piece and it could set us back years. But "Linux" is a 
moniker that, for whatever reason, sells and has achieved unprecedented 
name recognition and mindshare. Why can't RMS leave well-enough alone?

And he better wake up, IMHO, and realize that GNU and the GPL are very 
much on the table in this SCO debacle.
