Face it. He's a try-hard. He even calls himself Dr. Stallman despite only having honorary degrees. That would be like Kanye West calling himself Dr Kanye West. But he doesn't because even he knows that's pretentious.

If Kanye West is less pretentious than you, you're doing something wrong.

GPL is a legal framework, not a technical one, so lots of people on /g/ don't respect it as such (although I agree that non-technical contributions are valuable as well).

That being said, it's generally agreed that v3 made GPL a bit of a poison pill. Anyone that wants to make open source code but still be permissive about its use uses the MIT license and generally not GPLv2. You only hear about GPLv3, which even at MSR (a pretty academic-leaning industry organization), I heard people refer to as "viral" licensing to evoke how it contaminates projects by legally obligating the rest of code to be made open source.

GPL should have won over the hearts and minds of developers. By presenting this ultimatum, they alienated a huge community of industry developers who might otherwise have been sympathetic enough to familiarize themselves with OSS and ultimately agree with it.

Universities practically hand out honorary degrees to anyone that gives commencement speeches and stuff.

I see the anti-stallman is out in full force right now.

Sure, let's ignore his undergrad physics degree from MIT, that he'd almost obtained his master's when he left to start GNU.

Yeah, what has he ever done? (as you run code that was written with an editor he authored, compiled by a compiler he wrote, licensed to you under the terms of a license he created).

>he'd almost obtained his master's when he left to start GNU.
in the phd student community people are known for "mastering out" because they got their masters and left the program, usually because going deep on a subject with a dissertation was too hard for them.

RMS didn't even master out. was he even a phd student? did anyone bet on him being able to contribute significantly to the academic community? I'm seriously asking here; i thought i read he had been a phd student at one point, but if he was a masters student then that's even sadder.

if he had stayed in academia and written papers about the need for open source and whatnot, at least then his advocacy would be cited more often, get into the academic discourse in a more rigorous fashion, and earn him more credibility in that dimension.

the culture in academic work is admittedly to do stuff open source and public, but nobody acknowledges the advocacy that RMS did because he neither situated it in literature (there's a lot of potential; he wasn't such a novel snowflake that the notion of intellectual property was unheard of and therefore unprecedented) nor put it through peer review or into scholarship (which would have given people reason to grapple with it).

has anyone ever emailed to ask him why he acts in such an odd way?

i mean we all assume he's autistic or aspie as fuck or whatever, but has he said as much? someone must have diagnosed him at some point if he actually was.

if he's not, then i'd really like to hear how he justifies being a symbolic figure in the community while also being this awkward, alienating person who has these outbursts and stuff. if his role is largely some sort of PR/figurehead role, then does he not appreciate that he should keep his cool, not eat fingernails, not talk about shit like smelling flowers using words like "nasal sex with dead plants", etc...?

i ask because i like FSF and stuff, but he seems to actively detract from the movement. when the topic of free software comes up among tech savvy people and they mention RMS with the now characteristic eye-roll, i have to frame my response with "yeah he's definitely weird, but..."

that's an unbelievably weak position to start from. look at jimmy wales as an example of a public figure who doesn't embarrass himself and his project. emulate that if you're neither going to contribute to the code nor do anything else especially useful.

Are you familiar with the term "joke"?

He's 63 years old.

So you wanted him to conform, get in line and do completely meaningless work so that his ideas might stroke academics the right way.

So instead of doing useless crap to appease people like you, he actually made his vision real. He made the number one free software organization. Without it linux might never have become great or free software.

It's much more important to have proof that FOSS can work and be really good, and acctually start competing with proprietary, than him being cited more in academic circles, especially when

Stallman's only achievement is contributing to Linus making Linux. Terry Davis is a good example, made amazing shit but it will never go anywhere.

>>

>So you wanted him to conform, get in line and do completely meaningless work so that his ideas might stroke academics the right way.
i would've liked to see him formalize his ideas and make them useful for people who engage with the theory of intellectual property and whatnot. you make it sound like i'm demanding to handcuff him. all he would have to do to contribute to the academic community is cite some past literature and submit a paper for peer review without the benefit of his name at the top. the first requires rigor, and the second requires that your work have merit on its own. for all the shortcomings and flaws in peer review in general, there is arguably no more effective way to advance a theoretical argument.

>instead of doing useless crap ... he actually made his vision real

Who gives a shit?

if you need a nice frontman with elvis presley voice to appreciate the concepts FSF and GPL want to spread you obviously don't understand them.

Stallman is a successful person who started a whole movement and is a millionaire.
He's an honest and genuinely nice person (I've met him personally on one of his talks).

He doesn't put up a fake mask.

And that's clearly what you want.

you might not understand this, but generally people assess credibility on a gut judgment informed largely by appearances. it's basically an instinctive process.

it's not fair for the guy that can't trim his nails, shower, or comb his hair; nevertheless, it is what it is. you need someone who looks at least remotely credible, just like the rhetoric you use to communicate an argument is just as crucial as the argument itself.

unless you're saying that someone who makes gut judgments like those fundamentally can't understand what FSF is about, which would sound more like your own baggage strapped on to the free software movement.

>[stallman] doesn't put up a fake mask
i'm not asking him to. i'm asking why he insists on being the person that advocates his point if he's aware that he's an extremely divisive person. he's intelligent, but have any of his talks in the past several years required such cerebral intelligence that an intelligent, personable FSF advocate couldn't have done the job just as well? here's the crucial part: if a personable FSF advocate could have done the job instead, what's the expected value on lost supporters if RMS's likelihood of having a meltdown or eating toenail bits during a public appearance is ~0.1?

i'm not asking for fake, like you seem to think. i'm asking for someone who's real and doesn't make normal people uncomfortable. you seem to think those two things are the same, which makes me wonder if you have to *act* normal in day to day life. in that case, it doesn't surprise me that you fall on the side of liking RMS. he's a weird, divisive person and tends to win over other people who are weird. maybe they see themselves in him.

His advocacy for FOSS was born out of watching his environment getting destroyed by retarded licensing, not out of academic pursuit
Also, he's a physicist and mainly a hacker, not a sociologist to write papers on the impact of licensing

>Stallman's only achievement is contributing to Linus making Linux
Stallman founded the FSF, wrote and provided licences for FOSS software and wrote the GNU utils. before linux was made. Linux is just a kernel. Without stallman it might never been a thing as a viable OS, or it might have been under some other non-free license.


>>54593210

> there is arguably no more effective way to advance a theoretical argument.
Well yeah, there is. Proving it. Going off and making it real.

But more importantly, would consumers know or care about the academic formality of these ideas? No. They would care about what works. Would the proprietary software giants care about them? No, they'd only care about the competition.

>these are not mutually exclusive.
So you're saying he could have worked just as hard on GNU, FSF etc. while also pursuing demanding academic goals?
I don't think so.

honorary degrees are awarded for non academic work that a university considers beneficial to society and worth giving credit
If Steve Jobs had been given honorary degrees for reinventing the already invented then I would question it, but seeing as stallman has done legitimate work that doesn't have a profit motive like Steve, I don't feel that the two are comparable
in other words rms has non-bullshit honorary degrees

>>54593473
the study of acupuncture makes sense, at least to assess its usefulness as a way to treat pain. someone has to do research in that field.

it's also decidedly small; just 34 PhDs, and most likely none of us would recognize the granting institutions' names.

>>
>>54593689
>non-bullshit honorary degrees
you're splitting hairs, and i'm sorry but i just can't accept it. universities give out honorary degrees completely at their discretion and for their own reasons. any merit *you* associate with someone's honorary degree is largely projected, so it's not only unfair, but actually unreasonable to differentiate between honorary degrees in a bullshit or not-bullshit way.

the practice is bullshit *because* of the variability in who gets them, and the whimsical nature of universities handing them out. Bill Cosby had like 3, then had them taken away. Hitler had at least one that got taken back a while ago (in the last 30 years i think). Kermit the Frog has an honorary doctorate. JK Rowling has 7 (as previously stated).

The criteria for giving honorary doctorates is fundamentally disconnected from the "real" process of getting a PhD, so any number of honorary doctorates can't reasonably add up to equivalent credibility with a real one. if anything, this sounds like the bandwagon fallacy. i might buy it if not for the fact that people generally get their honorary doctorates after (read: for) giving commencement speeches.

Why is it appropriate for Stallman to refer to himself as 'Doctor Stallman', when he doesn't refer to Linus as 'Doctor Torvolds'?

Once again the fat Jew attempts to make himself seem more important while trivialising those whose work made his name known. This is no different from his constant whining about people not adding GNU before Linux. Had Linus not used Stallmans work he would have just used someone else's, Linux could exist without Stallman, not the other way around.

Remove that pretentious faggot from the sticky. Put Linus or Terry on it instead.

>comp.os.minix august 1991

Hello everybody out there using minix -
I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones. This has been brewing since april, and is starting to get ready. I'd like any feedback on things people like/dislike in minix, as my OS resembles it somewhat (same physical layout of the file-system (due to practical reasons) among other things).
I've currently ported bash(1.08) and gcc(1.40), and things seem to work. This implies that I'll get something practical within a few months, and I'd like to know what features most people would want. Any suggestions are welcome, but I won't promise I'll implement them :-)

Linus ([email protected])

In the "Notes for linux release 0.01", Torvalds lists the GNU software that is required to run Linux:

>Sadly, a kernel by itself gets you nowhere. To get a working system you need a shell, compilers, a library etc. These are separate parts and may be under a stricter (or even looser) copyright. Most of the tools used with linux are GNU software and are under the GNU copyleft. These tools aren't in the distribution - ask me (or GNU) for more info.


And of course despite relationship between Stallman and Torvalds being "competetive" to say the least Torvalds described licensing the kernel under GPL as "best thing he ever did"
>>
>>54595661

Neither Stallman or Torvolds have PhD's, but they both have numerous Honorary Doctorates.

Stallman calls himself Doctor Stallman, but doesn't refer to Torvolds with the same honorific. I also doubt he calls Kanye Doctor West or refers to the Harry Potter author as Doctor Rowling.

He's a pretentious try-hard.
>>
>>54595736

And after that Linus bought Linux into the main stream, made it far better than anything Stallman did, and Stallman's jealousy that Linus made the superior product grew into an unwarranted sense of self importance.

What's your point? Or you just trying to defend you freetard King despite him trying to take credit for other people's work?

Mother fuckers act like they forgot about dre.

>>54595751
Do you know if these other folks you mention call him Dr. Stallman? Is there a chance he uses the title out of respect for the people who gave him the honorary doctorate? Is there a chance he calls Dr. Torvalds by his honorific title and then laughs alongside him?

Is there a chance that everyone in this thread is a piece of shit loser/luser who likes to argue about inconsequential things instead of contributing to society?

>What's your point?
Mine? Proving you wrong my friend.
Without Stallman writing GCC and authoring the GPL linux wouldn't even lift off.

So claiming that "linux could exist without stallman" is clearly a bullshit statement made up by a pretentious faggot just to appear contrarian because we're on 4chan after all :)

Linux matured, became successful and in that phase it's possible it would do just fine if all contributions made by Stallman and his acolytes from FSF suddenly vanished.
>>
>>54595826

And what would your view be of Kanye signing all his emails with 'Doctor West'

Would you think that's pretentious?

How is it any different when King Freetard does it? Because you 'respect him'?

Apples and Oranges is a terrible arguing technique.
>>
>>54595854

But without Linus and Linux the GPL and FSF would have faded into obscurity. They only reason anyone pays them any heed now is because of the (negligible) help it gave Linus back in the early days of Linux.

If anything the FSF should rename itself Linux/FSF, simply because the Linux project and Linus are the only reason anyone would pay them any attention now.

Stallman's work is just a footnote in the history of Linus's achievements. He should be grateful for that, otherwise he would be nothing.

Demanding people call Linux GNU/Linux is audacious.

That's completely retarded

To you perhaps, but that's how history will remember it.

Very nice baseless assumption there.
>>
>>54596020

It's virtually obscure at the moment, it's not a hard deduction to make.

Not really, Hurd was in development at the time.

After Linux was released, Hurd stopped being a priority for GNU because all GNU components were ported to work with the Linux kernel.

Reason behind popularity of Linux is it's license - GPL.
And Hurd would be released under the same license.
>>
>>54596131

You're assuming Hurd would have been as successful as Linux, and considering how badly pretty much every other FSF project has been, that's quite the leap.

Face it. Linus saved free software and Stallman should give him the respect he deserves, rather than try to pry himself into Linus's achievements.

Why do people make these niche free software projects?

I mean, they catch on. No one ever really pays attention, and proprietary versions are always superior.

Is it just so they can circle-jerk to other freetards?

Who's Maki? I also like Revolutionary Girl Utena and share a birthday with RMS so you should make me aware of her too, as I am clearly one of the chosen

well, if he has a doctorate, then he is a doctor.

RMS got some patrician taste

>>54598163

He has honorary degrees. You don't see Linus Torvalds calling himself 'Doctor' Torvalds, or Kanye West, or J.K. Rowling.

He's attention seeking.

there is no shame in leaving after just a masters. a phd nowadays in an idiotic choice as you waste an extra 2-3 years on top of what a masters would take. during that time you'll effectively be paid minimum wage or less considering the amount of hours you'll be putting in all for a minute salary bump over what a masters student makes. except the masters students will be making real money for 2-3 years while you slave away for your kike adviser surrounded by poojeets and chinks.

i fucking wish i mastered out.
