Did I say he should not be" allowed to write software or work at a university"?

It is concerning to me that RMS would allow kids to make adult decision while at the same time saying that adults selling software to other adults under licenses he doesn't like should be punished.

I think it's reasonably sound logic from a libertarian perspective.

The more concerning thing is he's not allowed to simultaneously discuss that line of thinking while working at MIT.

Libertarians typically believe in a right of contracting something which RMS doesn't so it may not be totally correct to examine his ideas from a strict Libertarian viewpoitn.
