Interviews: Ask Richard Stallman a Question

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday July 29, 2015 @06:00AM from the go-ahead-and-ask dept.

RMS founded the GNU Project, the Free Software Foundation, and remains one of the most important and outspoken advocates for software freedom. He now spends much of his time fighting excessive extension of copyright laws, digital restrictions management, and software patents. RMS has agreed to answer your questions about GNU/Linux, how GNU relates to Linux the kernel, free software, why he disagrees with the idea of open source, and other issues of public concern. As usual, ask as many as you'd like, but please, one question per post.

Mr. Stallman, your GNU Project seems to have the momentum of a runaway freight train. Why is it so popular?
Is it hard work or sticktoitivness?

I can answer that. Because "Open Source" isn't a term coined by Richard. His ego demands that the term "Free Software" is used exclusively.
