I don't think that you have a correct understanding of "ad hominem"
here. If I said that your arguments were nonsense because you are an
uneducated fool and in the pay of the FSF, that would be ad hominem.
If I say that Richard Stallman is a fat, unkempt fool whose very
appearance is repugnant, that would just be derision or disparagement.
Saying the Busy Box authors are egomaniacs is just belittling and I
would continue to say that they do deserve the label.
If copyright were not a proper right for egomaniacs as well, where would
Microsoft be nowadays?
