I'd say Stallman is a dictator wannabe
As long as we have choice. Choice to use Microsoft or any proprietary software vs open source software of any of the license flavors then we have democracy and we vote by using what we use be it paid for or free. I see Stallman as dictating, where no one listens, that we should never pay for software. At the same time I see Steve Balmer saying the exact opposite. I guess the two have more in common than they'd like to admit. They'd both like to dictate what we should use. It's good thing we are free to listen to them or ignore them both.
