| | Richard Stallman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Richard Matthew Stallman (frequently abbreviated to RMS) (born March 16, 1953) is the founder of the free software movement, the GNU Project, and the Free Software Foundation. | | | The emergence of "portable software" — software that could be made to run on different types of computers — meant that the ability for computer users to modify and share the software that came with computers was now a problem for the business models of the computer manufacturers. | | | In 1985, Stallman published the GNU Manifesto, which outlined his motivation for creating a free operating system called GNU, which would be compatible with Unix. |

| | Open and Shut?: Interview with Richard Stallman |
| | In the 1970s, Stallman was a legendary hacker at MIT's AI Lab. | | | Stallman sits on a sofa with his back to the window, a laptop computer whirring beside him. | | | It was at the AI Lab that Stallman developed his ideas about Free Software — a process kick-started by his failed attempt to adapt a Xerox printer to automatically alert users when their print jobs had completed. |

| | Interview: Richard Stallman |
| | Richard Stallman: I think you meant to say, "not running entirely free software." There are many computers on the net that are not running free software, and that means the people who use and own those computers have lost this aspect of their freedom. | | | Richard Stallman founded the GNU Project in 1984, and the Free Software Foundation in 1985. | | | Richard Stallman: Mostly operating system development, but I did one AI research project with Professor Sussman; we developed dependency-directed backtracking. |

| | Stallman to Receive $830K |
| | Stallman has been recognized for his work leading the GNU operating system development project, and for starting the free software movement. | | | The GNU project began in 1984 when Stallman resigned his position at MIT& Artificial Intelligence Laboratory to develop a free Unix-like operating system by piecing together freely available software programs, and writing those components that were needed. | | | He later founded the Free Software Foundation, and Stallman said he firmly believes that people “deserve the freedom to use and modify software&; for any purpose and to “make software do what they want.” Commercial software, he believes, “undermines democracy” while free software provides people with the choices needed for a true democracy. |

| | Stallman was lucky in initially working in a community of software programmers that had an ethic of sharing, and cooperating in developing software at the MIT computer labs. | | | (http://www.stallman.org) Stallman is the iniator of the Free Software Foundation, the progenitor of the Gnu/Linux system (http://www.gnu.org), a free operating system that is slowly taking on the might of Microsoft and other proprietary operating systems, applications and programs. | | | Initially Stallman worked on Gnu emacs until it was ready for a first release in September 1984. |

| | Richard Stallman, True Hacker |
| | Stallman resigned from the MIT AI Lab to start GNU, so that MIT would not be able to claim the copyright on the GNU software, but the university was kind enough to let him use their computers. | | | Today millions of people use a version of GNU, though often referring to it as Linux, which is actually the name of the operating system kernel, published under the GNU General Public License (as are many of the other software packages usually distributed with the Linux kernel). | | | He joined the group of hackers at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (AI Lab) in 1971. |

| | Even worse, suggested reader Nathan Mates, Stallman's insistence on dictating the course of the free software movement contributed to the increasing irrelevance of the GNU project. | | | Richard Stallman's development philosophy is almost antithetical -- he must control, and so his projects suffer." | | | As many readers pointed out, the operating system commonly referred to as Linux includes several elements -- such as a free version of the X-Windows system -- that were not produced by the Stallman-founded Free Software Foundation/GNU Project. |

| | As the leader of the free software movement, Stallman is one of the most influential and controversial personalities in hacker culture today. | | | Stewart: While there's a large open source movement with many success stories, Stallman and the Free Software Foundation are really the only ones who assign notions of morality to free software usage. | | | I think Lessig's comment was that he changed the argument from "is" to "ought." A lot of free software was just created by the communal customs throughout this hacker elite programmer community. |
