Richard Stallman, Father of the Gnu & all that is Linux pt2

Richard Stallman. Any linux fan owes a great deal to this man, as well as Linus Torvalds. This video was originally intended as a response to zoulkyud, but the child-zoul has blocked any response from me.

The same is true for books.. Stallman is a raving madman.

[EmperorOfTheHighway]

huh?

[retepvosnul]

The scholarly addicts argument which is completely off the walls. He invokes this tomfoolery right at the point where most thinking people would switch off, I therefore thought mentioning it would not really be needed.

[EmperorOfTheHighway]

has anyone done for computing what that one man has?

[retepvosnul]

Plenty.

If it wasn't for the people around him the GPL would be unusable laced with all that RMS craziness. The GPL by itself was not the first FOSS license out there. I'd like you to try and marginalize the Berkeley license for instance. On top of that, there are still things that FOSS can't seem to get right, like consistent gui guidelines. And I would not call Emacs the greatest piece of work ever written either. In other words, he brought nothing new really.

[EmperorOfTheHighway]

so, without him, linux would still be the same or better?

The problem with license servers is that, like with Richard's experience with Bell Labs, coming out of college, I had learned a proprietary 3D package called Wavefront's TAV, when Alias/Wavefront (who SGI had purchased in 1996 and merged together) released Maya they discontinued the licensing of TAV, by discontinuing the issue of keys for the license server. So even if I wanted the software I couldn't purchase it, from anyone. That's when I got Blender 3D, and advocated the use of it by all.

very good point, Stallman

[HarcourtMarketing]

I was under the impression that cloning human beings in the USA was illegal.

Richard Stallman, my azz. More like Richard Franklin.

Damn right. Power to you Richard.... Stallman or Franklin......

@EmperorOfTheHighway: I don't think it been as easy even Linus the maker of linux used the gnu c compiler

Wait, he's for or against Open Source software?

[mellowcowism]

@TheKKK192 Well, you can play WoW on Linux through a program called Wine.

[9000deejay]

@REDWINGSRED36 haha, true that. GNU/Linux FTW!!!!!!

[9000deejay]

@REDWINGSRED36 haha, true that. GNU/Linux FTW!!!!!!

[HolyDemonSnap]

This guy is really intelligent and really cool.

[DontKillMeImJesus]

@TheKKK192 yes, actually you can, you will need the program Wine though, but it works

[SmartestViking]

This just made so much sense, thank you Stallman!
