Richard Stallman will speak about the Free Software Movement, which
|
||||||
|
campaigns for freedom so that computer users can cooperate to control
|
||||||
|
their own computing activities. The Free Software Movement developed the
|
||||||
|
GNU operating system, often erroneously referred to as Linux, specifically
|
||||||
|
to establish these freedoms.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p><b>About Richard Stallman:</b>
|
||||||
|
Richard Stallman launched the development of the GNU operating system (see
|
||||||
|
<a href="http://www.gnu.org">www.gnu.org</a>) in 1984. GNU is free software: everyone has the freedom to
|
||||||
|
copy it and redistribute it, as well as to make changes either large or
|
||||||
|
small. The GNU/Linux system, basically the GNU operating system with Linux
|
||||||
|
added, is used on tens of millions of computers today. Stallman has
|
||||||
|
received the ACM Grace Hopper Award, a MacArthur Foundation fellowship,
|
||||||
|
the Electronic Frontier Foundation's Pioneer award, and the the Takeda
|
||||||
|
Award for Social/Economic Betterment, as well as several honorary
|
||||||
|
doctorates.</p>
