They do disagree with each other's philosophies, but "even a blind pig will find an acorn or two."

Maybe Raymond saw an opportunity to irritate and annoy Stallman by agreeing with him?

Or maybe Raymond wanted to get back into the limelight after being ignored for so many years?

Raymond's probably just upset he didn't think of insulting Jobs and getting the media attention first.

I followed the link through to ESR's article, It seemed like a well reasoned and well thought out peice that ESR wrote.
