His two main objections to it are "People could run free GPL-covered Linux drivers with Windows systems", and "People could run non-free Windows drivers on GNU/Linux systems." I was confused, and asked him about it. "Why shouldn't Windows users have Free Software drivers?" His response was very similar to the one he sent me. That was my Great Turning Point, the moment in time when I realized that Richard Stallman is a complete and utter fraud. He is not interested in Free Software, except when it aids his only real goal, The GNU System.
