I really soured on on RMS when the FSF took my ls -h/du -h code and
"rewrote" it so they would not have to give me credit.  That's pretty
petty.  He did it because he hated me because BitKeeper wasn't open
source enough for him and the kernel was using it.  So he wanted to
scrub the GNU source base of any of my contributions.  So I stopped
contributing.
