Interview With Richard Stallman

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the men-with-beards-talking dept.

An anonymous reader writes "KernelTrap has a fascinating and lengthy interview with Richard Stallman who founded the GNU Project in 1984, and the Free Software Foundation in 1985. He also originally authored a number of well known and highly used development tools, including the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC), the GNU symbolic debugger (GDB) and GNU Emacs. The interview covers a wide range of topics, from rms's early years, to his current role in the Free Software Foundation. He discusses the current state of GNU/Hurd, the problems with non-free software, and much more."

    That fat bastard slipped in the shower last week; the resulting humongous shockwave caused massive tsunami's which wiped out over 150,000 people!!

    Arrest that man! (Not because of the tragic human carnage...but to prevent him from making us sane open source supporters from looking like a pack of crazy, unwashed hippies.)

    Oops! Yes, I have to admit, I am lying. This post is a hoax. (Stallman would have had to have taken a shower to have actually slipped in it, therefore this hypothetical story is impossible.)

      Usually Cocoa Pepples, but if my piles are acting up it may occasionally be Fruity Pebbles.
