The father of open source?

[erc]

RMS claiming that he is the father of open source is like Linus Torvalds claiming he is the father of Linux. Sure, they've made contributions, but claiming that you are the father of anything diminishes the hard work of lots and lots of people who have written code. Of course, Linus has gone out of his way to acknowledge the thousands of people who have contributed to Linux - some in small ways, others in larger ways - but he hasn't tried to take all the credit himself -- just the opposite.

On the other hand, RMS seems to want to claim all the credit himself...
