Richard M. Stallman on Steve Jobs: "I'm glad he's gone"

I'm not defending what RMS said here, but the title on this submission twists the article in to something it's not. The quote (and the original title of the article) says "I'm not glad he's dead, but I'm glad he's gone". I understand the competitive nature of trying to get your submission on the front page, but it's sort of frustrating to see the rising number of submissions that misrepresent the articles they link to.

I'm guessing this is a prank. Isn't RMS's real blog at http://www.fsf.org/blogs/rms/ ?

I see no link with RMS in the whois info of stallman.org.

For another remnant from the trip-happy 60s, especially one who also walks around barefoot believing in a freer world and living up to sunshine ideals, Stallman is a really mean gimp.

... and people accuse me of being heartless.

I have to give him credit for speaking his mind, though, for all that I disagree with the position he takes.
