Hi I'm an autistic person who alienates approximately half of the people I meet. I demand to be the face of the movement I founded, despite the widespread agreement that I'm at best divisive and at worst harmful to the cause. I give talks at various universities mostly in South America and occasionally in Europe, where I've been given a handful of honorary doctorates that I consider equivalent in credibility to real doctorates; as such, I use the title "Doctor" when introducing myself.
You may also know my work to introduce the GPL, specifically version 3. That's the version that drove a wedge in the free software community, between permissive open source licensing and "copyleft". What's great about GPLv3 is that its "viral" nature has caused legal departments in software companies to have a "reject first" instinct when sympathetic developers ask if they can incorporate and contribute to open source software projects. I'm especially proud of the principle this legal framework provides, albeit at the cost of its viability.

Why does he have such a huge gut? It's disgusting. It's on the same level as Hillary Clinton and so far out of proportion.
Somebody that fat should literally be huge everywhere.

I've always found this image hilarious.

>It's on the same level as Hillary Clinton
does she have a huge gut, or are you saying that it's equivalently disgusting?

This.
GLPv3 is pure communist cancer.
>>55107904
You suck.
>>55107904
I dislike the GPL as well, but it doesn't match up 1:1 with communism. In communism, you don't have a choice: you either have your shit appropriated, get fined, or get thrown in jail.
With the GPL, you can at least decide not to use any software licensed with it, avoiding the mess entirely.

>implying that under communism you wouldn't be a happy, productive individual, rather than a fat, lonely loser sucking up to your bosses while they steal your surplus labor
You're just a cuck in capitalism you stupid faggot.
>>55107947
yeah i read that all the communists were super happy in the USSR.
and the guys at foxconn in China are super happy - they even installed a trampoline kinda thing right outside their factories. talk about fun!
>>55107936
Since Stallman wants to ban every non GPL software on the planet you woudn't have much of a choice.

Richard Stallman demonstrating the "FOSS Snacking" he does on the road to beat hunger away and keep a sharp clear mind on freedumb.
>>55107947
Yes, because the states that exist today because of Communism, China and North Korea for example, are such wonderful places!

DPRK claims to have juche but not communism.
>>55107964
People always neglect to mention places like cuba that did socicalism decently well and have better medicare than USA, free school and university, and if you actually go there everyone is actually really happy - fucking weird compared to north america where everyone seems pissed.
