Justice for Dr. Richard Matthew Stallman

#tolerance #rms #freesoftware #gnu #healingcommunities #restoretruth #reinstallrms #freethought

Richard M. Stallman, also known as RMS in the free software community, is a physicist, computer scientist, philosopher and passionate champion for software freedom. He is the founder and leader of the Free Software Movement¹ (often mistakenly² called “open source”). Beyond computing, it inspired projects like Creative Commons and Wikipedia.

In 1983, he launched³ the GNU Project⁴ with the goal of building a free software operating system (known today as GNU+Linux). In 1985 Stallman founded the Free Software Foundation to raise funds and provide infrastructure for the development of GNU. He developed the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC)⁵, the GNU Debugger (GDB)⁶ and GNU Emacs.⁷ He invented the concept of copyleft⁸ and, based on that, he wrote the GNU General Public License.⁹

An Internet defamatory campaign broke up in September 2019, based on misinformation that led to a series of false accusations, mischaracterizations, intolerance and disproportionality. This forced RMS to resign from his position at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and even from the FSF that he founded and led. The announcement of his return to the FSF Board of Directors in March 2021 reignited the slanderous campaign.
