More from Richard Stallman
"Once GNU is written, everyone will be able to obtain good system software free, just like air."
"We should reject proprietary software as a matter of ethics."
"If you give up your freedom for convenience, you will have neither."
"The article refers to the sex worker as a 'child', but that is not so. Elsewhere it has been published that she is 16 years old. That is late adolescence, not childhood."
"The term 'open source' is a betrayal of the free software movement."
About Richard Stallman (born 1953)
American programmer who founded the Free Software Foundation and the GNU Project, whose copyleft GPL licensing made the modern Linux ecosystem possible. Closely associated with Linus Torvalds (Linux kernel creator who builds on GNU userland) and Eric S. Raymond (open-source advocate (The Cathedral and the Bazaar)). For an intellectual contrast, see Bill Gates, Microsoft co-founder — Gates's 1976 Open Letter to Hobbyists arguing for software-as-property is the foundational document Stallman's GPL was specifically written to refute — the two opposing answers to 'who owns the code'.
