I read the below quotes, and I wanted to share them with everyone<\/p>\n
1. “To be able to choose between proprietary software packages is to be able to choose your master. Freedom means not having a master. And in the area of computing, freedom means not using proprietary software.”
\n-Richard M. Stallman<\/p>\n
2. \u201cSoftware is like sex: it’s better when it’s free.\u201d
\n-Linus Torvalds<\/p>\n
3. \u201cValue your freedom or you will lose it, teaches history. ‘Don’t bother us with politics’, respond those who don’t want to learn.\u201d
\n-Richard M. Stallman<\/p>\n
4. \u201cSoftware patents are a huge potential threat to the ability of people to work together on open source. Making it easier for companies and communities that have patents to make those patents available in a common pool for people to use is one way to try to help developers deal with the threat.\u201d
\n-Linus Torvalds<\/p>\n
5. \u201cIf programmers deserve to be rewarded for creating innovative programs, by the same token they deserve to be punished if they restrict the use of these programs.\u201d
\n-Richard M. Stallman<\/p>\n
6. \u201cOne of the questions I’ve always hated answering is how do people make money in open source. And I think that Caldera and Red Hat — and there are a number of other Linux companies going public — basically show that yes, you can actually make money in the open-source area.\u201d
\n-Linus Torvalds<\/p>\n
7. \u201cControl over the use of one’s ideas really constitutes control over other people’s lives; and it is usually used to make their lives more difficult.\u201d
\n-Richard M. Stallman<\/p>\n
8. \u201cIt just makes it even harder for people to even approach the (open source) side, when they then end up having to worry about … public humiliation.\u201d
\n-Linus Torvalds<\/p>\n
9. \u201cI founded the free software movement, a movement for freedom to cooperate. Open source was a reaction against our idealism. We are still here and the open-source people have not wiped us out.\u201d
\n-Richard M. Stallman<\/p>\n
10. “When it comes to software, I much prefer free software, because I have very seldom seen a program that has worked well enough for my needs, and having sources available can be a life-saver.”
\n-Linus Torvalds<\/p>\n
11. \u201cIf you focus your mind on the freedom and community that you can build by staying firm, you will find the strength to do it.\u201d
\n-Richard M. Stallman<\/p>\n
12. “Anybody who tells me I can’t use a program because it’s not open source, go suck on rms. I’m not interested. 99% of that I run tends to be open source, but that’s _my_ choice, dammit.”
\n-Linus Torvalds<\/p>\n
13. \u201c’Free software’ is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should think of ‘free’ as in ‘free speech,’ not as in ‘free beer’.\u201d
\n-Richard M. Stallman<\/p>\n
14. “I’m doing a free operating system just a hobby, won’t be big and professional like gnu for 386 (486) AT clones.”
\n-Linus Torvalds<\/p>\n
15. “Once GNU is written, everyone will be able to obtain good system software free, just like air.”
\n-Richard M. Stallman<\/p>\n
