I imagine he's very frustrated with the medical process.... All those machines running old proprietary windows and old proprietary vendor software.
Not tongue in cheek at all either. It scares me and I'm nowhere near as hard core as RMS.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

i think what this redd subb is saying is that unless a person is involved in a stateoftheart/research project.. the software isnt really valuable on an everyday basis ( compared to just using professional software that is the product of new research )
kinda demoralizing(in this context).
it would be cool if he could FOSS his way out of this one.
I think El Reg stated it well at the end of their article. Stallman may be a divisive figure, especially in recent years, however no one deserves to go through an illness that scary and difficult to fight, even with modern medicine on their side.
Fuck cancer.
Although Stallman is a controversial and polarizing figure, he is widely acknowledged as a pioneer. Without his efforts to formalize and promote Free Software, there would be no Open Source world today. There have been multiple expressions of concern across the internet, and many people wishing him the best.
