“Gates é um homem de negócios e seu objetivo é ganhar dinheiro. Não importa quanto dinheiro ele ganha das pessoas, nunca está satisfeito. o objetivo dele junto aos políticos é conseguir a restrição de leis para que possa ganhar ainda mais dinheiro. Torvalds é um programador, um hacker. Embora ele prefira ganhar dinheiro a estar quebrado, acredito que ele goste mais de programar do que de dinheiro. Ele não está interessado em questões políticas e tenta evitá-las. Eu sou um programador e estou preocupado com questões políticas. Eu também preferiria ganhar dinheiro a estar quebrado, também prefiro programar à ganhar dinheiro, mas o que realmente quero é vencer a batalha pela liberdade e cooperação, uma batalha contra a dominação.”

“(…) O usuário deveria estar no controle. É uma escolha entre democracia e monarquia. O desenvolvedor de um software proprietário é como um rei absolutista, como Bush quer ser. O presidente George W. Bush trabalha para as grandes multinacionais. A grande semelhança dele com a Microsoft é que ambos não acreditam que você deva ter liberdade.”

“Eu sou pessimista por natureza. Muitas pessoas só conseguem continuar lutando quando elas esperm vencer. Eu não sou assim, eu sempre espero perder. Eu luto de qualquer jeito, e às vezes eu venço.”

Richard Stallman

I am a pessimist by nature. Many people can only keep on fighting when they expect to win. I'm not like that, I always expect to lose. I fight anyway, and sometimes I win.

“Prostituição, adultério, necrofilia, bestialidade, posse de pornografia infantil e até incesto e pedofilia… deveriam ser legais enquanto ninguém seja forçado. Eles são ilegais somente por causa de preconceitos e estreiteza de pontos de vista.”

Richard Stallman

Prostitution, adultery, necrophilia, bestiality, possession of child pornography, and even incest and pedophilia ... should be legal as long as no one is coerced. They are illegal only because of prejudice and narrowmindedness.

Richard Stallman

1980s, GNU Manifesto (1985)

“You see, some people have a talent for programming. At ten to thirteen years old, typically, they're fascinated, and if they use a program, they want to know: “How does it do this?” But when they ask the teacher, if it's proprietary, the teacher has to say: “I'm sorry, it's a secret, we can't find out.” Which means education is forbidden. A proprietary program is the enemy of the spirit of education. It's knowledge withheld, so it should not be tolerated in a school, even though there may be plenty of people in the school who don't care about programming, don't want to learn this. Still, because it's the enemy of the spirit of education, it shouldn't be there in the school.
But if the program is free, the teacher can explain what he knows, and then give out copies of the source code, saying: “Read it and you'll understand everything.” And those who are really fascinated, they will read it! And this gives them an opportunity to start to learn how to be good programmers.
To learn to be a good programmer, you'll need to recognize that certain ways of writing code, even if they make sense to you and they are correct, they're not good because other people will have trouble understanding them. Good code is clear code that others will have an easy time working on when they need to make further changes.
How do you learn to write good clear code? You do it by reading lots of code, and writing lots of code. Well, only free software offers the chance to read the code of large programs that we really use. And then you have to write lots of code, which means you have to write changes in large programs.
How do you learn to write good code for the large programs? You have to start small, which does not mean small program, oh no! The challenges of the code for large programs don't even begin to appear in small programs. So the way you start small at writing code for large programs is by writing small changes in large programs. And only free software gives you the chance to do that.”
