    Who cares about the man? His ideas launched a movement that changed the world. He did a ton of good. When he started his crusade, there was no such thing as a libre compiler. Today, there is, and it's the best one. It's like saying Ghandi should be cancelled because he was problematic. What's more important, the deeds or the man?
