Stallman is also his own worst enemy. Feet-picking aside, coat-tailing Linux with this whiny “but ack-shually, gnu is a big part of it so we want equal billing” is just weak and arrogant and has been for decades.
… and if stallman can’t see that without Linux he’d be just a hippie with other issues, he begs for the same trivialization of his own role.
Call it Torvalds/tridgell/baumel/Bourne/Ritchie/Linux before GNU/Linux or gtfo. And if we call it gnu/Linux, we should say chisel/David or Mussolini/UN because, like GNU, they were in the right place at the right time to have a completely fungible sidecar role in what actually happened to catalyze actual work.
Stallman made emacs. Cool. I use it daily. GNU is great but not vital. Without Edison, we’d have a Marconi somewhere.
How could it be anything else?
How about GNU/Linux?
Richard Stallman spotted. :-)
Please don’t humour stallman any more than necessary.
Stallman is the reason open source software (as we know it today) even exists.
All hail Stallman
Sure. Okay. No argument.
