Interview With Richard Stallman

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Tuesday January 4, 2005 @02:54AM 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."

Darwin is under the APSL version 2 not the GNU license. The FSF considers that version 1 is not a free license while version 2 is.

GNU/Darwin is a BSD based on Darwin plus only free software packages.
