How does Richard Stallman feel about open source community collaborating

rms does not care about large corporations getting involved he's not a dumb commie. Among his four essential freedoms of software is the right for ANYONE to do whatever they want with code, this includes corporate users. Everyone has equal access.

However, the GPL licenses do forbid someone from denying someone else their essential rights to use, modify, and redistribute code.

From what he writes this isn't about just those freedoms in his mind.

Just read this:

It's clear that his stance involves this specific entity as a whole and single actions cannot be excluded forgetting the rest.

Thus if a friendly entity collaborates with the evil entity it's only helping that bad entity to streghten their evil positions in other domains.

I think he'd probably be mostly supportive of open formats being adopted industry wide even if Microsoft is also adopting them. Open formats in Windows mean users of Windows can use and promote open formats and free software. It breaks through some of the barriers Microsoft has set up to prevent the proliferation of free software.

He's probably disgusted with the W3C though because they allowed DRM plugins.
