Richard Stallman名言摘录【英文更加地道】 When you are talking about Linux as a OS, you should refer to it as GNU/Linux. Linux is just the kernel. All the tools that make Linux an OS has been contributed by GNU movement and hence the name GNU/Linux. I could have made money this way, and perhaps amused myself writing code. But I knew that at the end of my career, I would look back on years of building walls to divide people, and feel I had spent my life making the world a worse place. (On why he decided against writing propritery software). Fighting patents one by one will never eliminate the danger of software patents, any more than swatting mosquitoes will eliminate malaria. (While talking on how to fight software patents – singly and together). If anything deserves a reward, it is social contribution. Creativity can be a social contribution, but only in so far as society is free to use the results. If you want to accomplish something in the world, idealism is not enough–you need to choose a method that works to achieve the goal. In other words, you need to be “pragmatic.” We don’t think of the Open Source movement as an enemy. The enemy is proprietary software. I consider that the golden rule requires that if I like a program I must share it with other people who like it. People sometimes ask me if it is a sin in the Church of Emacs to use vi. Using a free version of vi is not a sin; it is a penance. So happy hacking. Value your freedom or you will lose it, teaches history. ‘Don’t bother us with politics’, respond those who don’t want to learn. 【其他小事给你说说:】 Linus曾经想给他的系统取名Freax，而不是Linux； Linus的父母都是左翼激进者，他父亲是共产主义者，曾到莫斯科学习了一年。 来自：www.bentutu.com |
