google it, you’ll get a whole bunch of sites on him. For those of
you who don’t really have the time or don’t really care let me give
you a brief description of the man. Richard Stallman is the founder
of the FSF or the Free Software Foundation, which was formed in
1984 to promote free software development as opposed to proprietary
software for which he also started something called the GNU
project. The aim of the project was to develop enough free software
to be able to do without proprietary software. I know that at this
