Without Richard Stallman, no linux as complete OS, no gcc, no emacs and hundreds of other libs/software.
Stefano Maffulli: make a list of what you brought to the world and compare with what he did and then ask this same question for yourself. I assure you, it'll be revelatory.
- carlob 7y agoThat's a very stupid argument it's basically like saying that Roger Ebert should not have written a single review because he hasn't directed any movie. Furthermore the FSF is eminently a political and legal organization, having software chops doesn't really make you any better at that (take Lessig as an example).
- rimliu 7y agoYeah, nobody else could/would do it. Just nobody. How do people get these ideas, that some guy is solely responsible for the progress of the human race?
