    Yeah , ~_^ Power to the people!….

  • QtrPounderWithCheese Said:

    when he says free software he isn’t talking about price. It’s free as in free speech, not free as in free of charge.

    There is nothing wrong with making money from your software!

  • bozzioisgod44 Said:

    Gah you suck! :P hehe ;)

  • OSGUIShow Said:

    yeah

    and iv was wrong about the number, its now thought to be around 40 millions linux users

  • unlokia Said:

    You’re talking through ignorance.

  • unlokia Said:

    I think This is actually known as a “hair not-cut” :)

  • unlokia Said:

    He is an amazing person. I know a guy – Marty Connor – who used to share an office with him @ MIT.

  • DrPaulMutilation Said:

    I think Yeah, FIGHT THE MAN!

  • bozzioisgod44 Said:

    I think Richard is just so lovable

  • OSGUIShow Said:

    its ludicrous to say: “The GNU Project’s relative lack of progress is testament to this. ” when 7 million + users use GNU/Linux – Mac OS X would not be around if not for GNU, which means no iphone with out the GNU project…

    GNU is in everything from Firefox to every free unix based OS.

  • Devourer09 Said:

    I like his haircut.

  • OSGUIShow Said:

    Richard Stallman is a revolutionary – he should be put in control of earth he would fix all its problems

  • sarsamis Said:

    People like to be compensated for their efforts. Quality software requires a lot of effort. You cannot compensate these programmers without making a profit.

    The GNU Project’s relative lack of progress is testament to this.

    I have nothing against free software, and I am aware of some of the injustices of DRM, but the idea that it’s unethical to profit on software is ludicrous.

    Am I supposed to be upset? You’re spamming the comment section. Good day sir. *marks as spam*

  • jaswanthkoppu Said:

    fuck @ linux

  • MiyasmaTube Said:

    I looked this up just because I was curious as to what Richard Stallman sounds like when he talks. Now I know… he sounds nerdy. But he also sounds intelligent, and that’s something I can appreciate.

  • brange108 Said:

    gotta love he starts indexing the freedoms from 0 instead of 1. :)

  • beginusinglinux Said:

    I think Thank you for posting this. This is the future of computing.

  • UltraBibendum Said:

    I think penis

  • jnkmail09 Said:

    Filthy hippy.

  • Itsamnaaj Said:

    @ Hanedagamer:

    The BSD license does not protect anything. It allows for unscrupulous individuals to take source code, modify it and close it up – Apple’s Macintosh OS/X comes to mind, which is the most painful failure FreeBSD has ever had to endure (Apple basically took FreeBSD, called it ‘Mac OS/X’ and rips off customers by appealing to the cheapest of human tendencies: conformism).

  • AmericanMale1953 Said:

    I think You imply freedom but some needs payment for their labor, no? I need to check with my Guru…
