I feel like everyone's just too polite to say that Richard Stallman's just another programmer.  What has he actually done?  He's tried to attach himself to the coattails of Linux with his infamous "interjection," but his own Unix effort took 30 years and is mostly unused.  What else?  Emacs?  Does the author of Notepad++ get worldwide recognition for his efforts?

I'm not saying the man's useless, just that there are people who do more for less recognition.  Enough zealotry already.

Shareware isn't free software. Even freeware isn't free software. Free software is a moral statement about the code, not how it is distributed.

Shareware isn't        YHBT      . Even freeware isn't        YHBT      .        YHBT      is a moral statement about your gay, not how mad you are.

RMS doesn't stop being a Lisp programmer for writing GNU using C. RMS designed GNU to be like Unix because Unix works and because it was popular. Can you tell me of any complete and free OS that was available in 1983?

Code is ONLY free if it's licensed under my the GPL.
There are other licenses that try to be free, even claim to be more free, but that's laughable. Only the GPL is free as it adds arbitrary restrictions to your rights to modify and distribute the code!
Don't fall for their Jewish lies, if you want freedom then GPL is the ONLY options.

I'm just saying that the group of developers he was copying had a much harder time because they were creating something.
He was just copying them.

Free software is a moral statement about granting users the freedom to control the software. It deals with granting freedom to run a program, supplying the source code to a program in order to study and modify it, as well as granting the freedom to distribute modified or unmodified programs.

It deals with granting freedom restrictions to run a program, supplying the source code to a program in order to study and modify it, as well as granting the freedom restrictions to distribute modified or unmodified programs under a very strict set of conditions and to prevent your code from ever being used by a programmer who doesn't want his own code placed under such arbitrary restrictions.
Because fuck it, GPL code is the only code that matters, license the addition operation and suddenly all code belongs to RIMMUS else he'll sue your ass.

You do realize that OS design and implementation were established fields of knowledge at that time. Everything that RMS wrote at the time was part of his speciality as an OS writer.

According to RMS anybody who can write a cat program is an OS writer.
You act like it's some kind of achievement when any first year programmer can do it.
You can't have it both ways, either use the real definition of OS or don't try to brag about such lame things.

There's more to writing software than forging new fields. Extending existing software and mixing existing software to do better things is a legitimate way to advanced the state of art.

The majority like RMS.
Because the majority like him I will not like him and criticize him.
My likes and dislikes, my taste, my personality in general is formed and controlled by the majority.

Signed, OP and /prog/.

I secretly like RMS but pretend to hate him to piss off people.

This is nonsense.
There are plenty of popular figures I like.
Knuth, Dennis Ritchie, Dijkstra.
