What things the world enjoys today should we need to thank Stallman for?
>>
>>55458412
GNU
Incredibly widespread of the philosophy
>>
>>55458412
The tools needed to build the world's most used OS kernel.

The philosophy that, although partially retarded, started a movement that brought good Open Source software to the public.

The memes.

That's about it

Have other companies profited from GPL license?

>>55458451
I can't hear you behind my tasty memes
>>
>>55458412
the GNU project and the FSF and their contributions in software, infrastructure, privacy, ideology as well as the legal protection of all that I just mentioned

it's likely that at any given moment you're directly or indirectly using software that Stallman (and many, nameless others) can be credited for.

I mean, redhat couldn't make any profit without portions of their stuff being GPL. Same with Android, Linux wouldn't exist.

RHEL is profitable because you can download all source code rn, but you need a license to run it in a business environment. I think it's mainly GPL
