Another important anniversary. I wonder how well this thread will compare with "25 years of Google" [0] As a 50 year old, GNU has been there in the background for most of my life as a computing professional. It has not grown much as an organisation or ideas base, but clung firmly to timeless principles. That continuity and longevity is testimony to the power of an ideal, that computing belongs in the hands of the people, as a tool and not as a weapon in the hands of those who seek domination.
