Re: [Trisquel-users] Richard Stallman Does Not and Cannot Speak for the Free Software Movement

[andyprough]

Without Stallman there would be no free software movement. In the 80s people  
were suing each other into oblivion over shareware. As a result of the  
lawsuits, Stallman came up with the idea of copy left and created the GPL.  
But left to their own devices and without Stallman's vision and leadership,  
the free software folks of the day were a pathetic group who were never going  
to create anything lasting.
