It's a matter of religion...and those are deep waters. My understanding
is that the most important of the commandments is to love God above
everything else. Yo deny him, and to make people lose faith is a serious
offense.

He is happy with the work he has done, hasn't he? He shows in his
writings hatred against commercial software writers. He harms commercial
software with his license and he knows it. Pablo Escobar, whom you've
probably heard of, was also thought to be a saint in Medellin because he
built houses for many poor people while he was on political campaign. I
don't have any idea how many North American parents still cry when they
see what their kids did with that money.
I am not saying Stallman is Hitler, but the fact that he does some good
things and that he is popular doesn't mean he is not evil.
cheers,
Pedro.
