Indeed xD
I've never met him but would gladly go to one of his speeches if he ever came to my area (Montreal). So I won't mention my job, nor the fact that I have two children and a smartphone - anything else I should know? lol :).
Remember to speak slowly ! He has problems listening to people talking fast, OH and be careful with your feet... just saying xD
Stallman would probably say that software is more important than your children so you should quit your job and let them starve so you can start a one man free software project and panhandle to feed yourself. Otherwise you are being unethical and ruining the entire universe. Eventually you can't pay your mortgage or utility bills and you lose your power and therefore the ability to code in the Stallman ideal.
Your wife then calls you a deadbeat and threatens to leave you unless you send out your resume and get a "real job" with a software company. Your old company takes you back (after you beg like an animal), you pay your bills again like a good citizen, and the government doesn't take away your kids.
I think that you are exaggerating some points about what he said. He only said that you shouldn't be unethical, so, like a lot of people that don't have money and/or work, you don't see them robbing (yes this is some other sort of unethical stuff but it is unethical too in this kind of vision). You see them finding another job and not being against what they are, what they love, and freedom itself.
I can even use those "heavy words" to explain by saying that, if you don't find a way to win money with software being unethical (like only selling free software), then you can find another job that pays your bills and still doing Free Software.
And (for me at least) the important thing of the speech (beside the fact that Lunduke is one of the stupidest Gnu/Linux developers I've seen in a while... and I don't even know if he is a Gnu/Linux user at all since he asked people for donation to buy mac computers after asking them 4000€ a month in order to release software that at this day (almost 7 months past if my memory is right) continue to not being released under github even knowing that they are GPL), is that you have always 2 kind of people in this situation... Those who want to understand and what do listen and learn, with this people we can talk and maybe find a solution (but if you to remember that RMS and the FSF are not and enterprise to find people jobs in Free Software department), and you have people that will never want to even listen to this, and so "we" just let those people feel "free" about themselves and as we are educated and civilized, we go away to someone that is interested and want to listen, letting do this last one what he wants to do with is life knowing that it is (mostly) against his own Freedom.
But maybe I misinterpreted what he said... but at last this is what I think.
I am a member!
I am software developer by trade. I use a Trisquel box for all of my development. The project that I work on is a mix of free and non-free components/code.
The company at which I work is very much a supporter of free software and is home to many of the core developers for the Freeswitch project, Cacti (or it was last I checked), the Psi jabber client, and contributes to many other free software projects (clamav among others).
Ok now I am jealous. Don't you need more workers ;D
Seriously though, I don't think I could become a good programmer. One needs skillz and attitude for that.

Actually, yes: https://www.barracudanetworks.com/company/careers
Just out of curiosity is there any "carrers" (don't know if this is the right term) in other countries in Europe other than Germany ?
Hmm, I highly approve Barracuda Networks and think it is a very interesting company. I am just wondering how to sneak in :D
