Most of RMS's recent interviews have revolved around his insistence that GNU/Linux is the correct name for what Redhat, Suse and Mandrake grew rich selling. Most of the trolls connected to that also discuss how RMS criticizes Linus' use of BitKeeper for Linux kernel tree. Everyone seems to be so much about how he is Unreasonable and Impractical. So let's see rehash a few issues shall we ?.
Q: He is opposed to porting FOSS to Windows.
Wrong. He wrote his entire code base using Unix - a proprietary OS - so I'd say Firefox on Windows should be quite acceptable to him. After all entire GNU grew up from propreitary unix environments. The suggested idea is like banning visits to encourage immigration.
Q: He opposes making money from FOSS .
Wrong. He lived for around 3 years selling Emacs for $150 per tape. He predates (no pun intended) Redhat and Suse in making money selling FOSS.
I've met RMS in person and have had email conversations with him. He's essentially a Hippie. But unlike what others interpret it , he doesn't have any tie-downs to society. Hell ! he doesn't even have a password for root to his laptop. It is very hard to achieve that kind of disconnection from society. Indians would know know this as Karma Yoga - Salvation by Action (normally translated as "Service"). He doesn't want a compromise on Freedom - yours or his or anyone else's.
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

It's an Utopia he sees - but we may come near recovering the paradise selfishness destroyed ... Without him, we won't have realized what we LOST !.
