Here are a list of quotes from him many cult-like followers of Stallman tend
to disagree with. I suspect Fabian Russell would not be happy with most.

  Linus Torvalds: 
    ----- 
    Any program is only as good as it is useful.
    ----- 
    I never felt that the naming issue was all that important,
    but I was obviously wrong, judging by how many people felt. I
    tell people to call it just plain Linux and nothing more.
    ----- 
    I'm generally a very pragmatic person: that which works,
    works. 
    ----- 
    In many cases, the user interface to a program is the most
    important part for a commercial company: whether the programs
    works correctly or not seems to be secondary.
    ----- 
    Microsoft isn't evil
    ----- 
    An infinite number of monkeys typing into GNU emacs would
    never make a good program.
    ----- 
    Anybody who tells me I can't use a program because it's not
    open source, go suck on rms. I'm not interested. 99% of that
    I run tends to be open source, but that's my choice, dammit.
    ----- 
    ... even if the Hurd didn't depend on Linux code (and as far
    as I know, it does, but since I think they have their design
    heads firmly up their *sses anyway with that whole
    microkernel thing, I've never felt it was worth my time even
    looking at their code), I don't believe a religiously
    motivated development community can ever generate as good
    code except by pure chance.
    ----- 
    Your problem has nothing to do with git, and everything to do
    with emacs. And then you have the gall to talk about "Unix
    design" and not gumming programs together, when you yourself
    use the most gummed-up piece of absolute sh*t there is!
    ----- 
    I may make jokes about Microsoft at times, but at the same
    time, I think the Microsoft hatred is a disease.
    ----- 
    There are "extremists" in the free software world, but that's
    one major reason why I don't call what I do "free software"
    any more. I don't want to be associated with the people for
    whom it's about exclusion and hatred.
    ----- 
    Let's put it this way: if you need to ask a lawyer whether
    what you do is "right" or not, you are morally corrupt. Let's
    not go there. We don't base our morality on law.
    -----  

And comments from other big names in the open source world:

  Mark Shuttleworth:
    ----- 
    I think we don't yet deliver a good enough user experience. I
    think we deliver a user experience for people that have a
    reason to want to be on the Linux platform, either because of
    price or because of freedom. If that was your primary reason,
    Linux is the right answer.
    But if you are somebody who is not too concerned about price,
    who is not too concerned about freedom, I don't think we can
    say the Linux desktop offers the very best experience. And
    that's something we have to change, that's something I'm
    committed to work on, focusing increasing amounts of
    resources of Canonical on figuring out on how we actually
    move the desktop experience forward to compete with Mac OS X.
    ... 
    Second thing is, we just can't do this only on GNOME or just
    on KDE, we need to figure out on how to move the whole Linux
    desktop platform forward. I suspect if we hire a bunch of
    upstream developers they will be across both GNOME and KDE.
    I think the Apple guys have a very good point when they say
    we should let designers lead the definition of the user
    experience. 
    ----- 
    But I see the lack of consistency as both a weakness (GNOME,
    OpenOffice and Firefox all have different UI toolkits, and
    it¹s very difficult to make them seamless) and as a strength
    - people are free to innovate, and the results are
    world-leading. 
    -----     

  Jim Zemlin: 
    ----- 
    Yeah, their stuff's pretty good. [points at a MacBook Air]
    That's a pretty sweet laptop there. That's the difference. I
    get asked a lot, "Why does Apple get a bye?" from the open
    source guys. When you're downstairs I'm sure you'll see a lot
    more Macs. The reason why they get a bit more of a bye is
    because the stuff is really innovative. It's not the stuff
    where you say "Not only is it crap but..."
    ----- 
    I'll tell you who's great with the desktop market, it's those
    guys, Apple, with I think more than 20 per cent share. But if
    you look at things like the Kindle Fire, Android, the
    ChromeBook, at all the alternative means of accessing what's
    important and what you probably spend 90 per cent of your
    time doing, accessing the internet through a web browser,
    then I think there's plenty of room for a Linux desktop
    there. 
    ----- 
    | What's one application would you like to see for Linux
    | that doesn't exist currently?
    iTunes. And Microsoft Office.
    ----- 
    Open source is a development methodology, and choice is not
    guaranteed by a development methodology."
    ----- 
    One of the big things that's difficult is consistency, and
    that's Window's biggest strength.
    ----- 
    This certification lab will increase the number of Linux
    applications and ensure that Linux does not fragment.
    ----- 
    As the standards are provided and then adopted, the Linux
    desktop will snowball. Microsoft can compete with a Sun, a
    Red Hat or a Novell, but they won't be able to compete with
    an ecosystem of Linux desktops...
    ----- 
    What our standards will do is enable desktop application
    vendors to easily target the Linux ecosystem, not just a
    single vendor, to make sure they run across all the different
    distributions...
    ----- 
    [The new LSB desktop group will be dealing with more than
    just KDE and GNOME issues though. It will be dealing with]
    all issues dealing with interoperability, ... everyone at the
    table, and motivated to make the Linux desktop a success,
    everyone will be seeking a consensus. This may not [mean]
    making developers choose between KDE and GNOME, but instead
    finding a way to make it easier for ISVs to create
    applications that can easily work with both.
