Richard Stallman: Creator of GNU/Linux and the Free Software Philosophy
Richard Stallman is the founder of the GNU Project and the author of the free software philosophy. In this video, we'll explain how Stallman created GNU/Linux and how his philosophy influenced the development of modern operating systems. We'll also explore his differences with Linus Torvalds and the rest of the world. As it turns out, Linux isn't Linux at all, and the term "open source software" is an ideological diversion committed by Torvalds in 1998.
Regardless of one's feelings about Richard Stallman, his free software philosophy helped create an ecosystem in which users have complete control over their programs and data, and Stallman himself continues to inspire developers around the world to stand up to corporations.
