More from Richard Stallman
"What's the best tool for twisting someone's neck? A torc wrench."
"To join the Church of Emacs, one needs only pronounce the Confession of the Faith; it starts like this: 'There is no system but GNU, and Linux is one of its kernels.'"
"Proprietary software is a social problem, not just a technical one."
"It sounds horrible: “UN peacekeepers accused of child rape in South Sudan.” But the article makes it pretty clear that the “children” involved were not children. They were teenagers."
"We're heading for total disaster if we don't put an end to extreme capitalism and re-established democracy."
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'.
