^^^^^^^^^^^^They're both leftists.
You've failed to prove that point^^^^^^^^^^^^
What do you expect, shall I link you to Rush's audio where he talks about Apple's reluctance to advertise on his show?
Look at Al Gore, who sits on Apple's board. Look at Warren Buffet, who's buddy buddy with Gates.
Furthermore, take a look at what Steve Jobs said about the teachers unions recently. That isn't anything new. I've heard numerous conservatives say basically the same things over the past few years, and every single time the media and the left attack them feverishly.
Have you noticed how Jobs got a pass? Rush noticed it too.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Only if you're a big lib, only if you're a big Democrat, do you get applauded for this kind of talk.^^^^^^^^^^^
It seems that everybody in the world who's paying attention.... Except for you.... knows that Jobs is a big lib.
Here's Jobs' political donations. He's a huge democrat.

Same thing with Gates. Salon did a piece a few years ago about him being a closet liberal. Even other freepers have noticed how Gates is a leftist. Some of them have even mentioned it to you personally, as I have. But for whatever reason you refuse to believe it.

Here's Gates' political donations. As you look at the list, he appears to be moving further to the left.

You've been to busy attacking a leftist named stallman you haven't stopped to notice that you already had one in your own box.
And besides, Torvalds is(one of) the shining star of the OSS movement, not Stallman. But the media does give Stallman alot of love and affection.
If you don't want to accept it, that doesn't change it. Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Richard Stallman are all leftists. Some more left wing than others. Look at Sun's embracing of the GPL.
It looks like you had better sell off your computer, no matter what software you use it comes from leftists.
Stallman campaigns for the Green Party and spends his recent time in Cuba, no one else is close.
And besides, Torvalds is(one of) the shining star of the OSS movement, not Stallman.
Torvalds is a foreigner who was raised by well known communists who studied in Moscow. Why are you so anti-American, US products like OSX and Solaris are better anyway.
