Of all the places to grind this ax, you'd pick the place where we're discussing Linus's historical announcement of his brand new kernel? A year before the word "Linux" was ever coined? In a discussion of a message where he talks about porting two specific GNU programs as evidence of how serious he is?
- chrismonsanto 13y agoThis is a common troll copypaste, I think originating at 4chan. It is unclear if Stallman ever said/wrote those words. Generally it starts with 'I'd just like to interject for a moment' Edit: evidence that the first paragraph is real? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlD9UBTcSW4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlD9UBTcSW4 (from http://www.reddit.com/r/gnu/comments/hv56g/source_of_the_famous_id_like_to_interject_for_a/ http://www.reddit.com/r/gnu/comments/hv56g/source_of_the_fam...)
- bitwize 13y agoStallman has been harping about GNU/Linux since the mid-90s at least. He gave me a hard time about it back in 1998 or so.
- LukeShu 13y agoThe first paragraph is unclear, but RMS actually wrote the second two paragraphs.[1] [1] https://gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html https://gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html
