In the ideal of free software, on the one hand, this system hopes that this system is fully compatible with UNIX, and on the other hand, it must be completely free free. The reason why this is done is entirely based on political and ethical considerations. Because the mutual cooperation between computer users is the category of basic human rights. The basic human rights content, individual think is three freedoms: 1. Modify the free software of the software to renest the software to the actual demand for the free three, will revise the free people to share the free people. It is based on "Software for everyone", as well as those used by software, as well as those who make full use of software in society. "Copyright" is the freedom of the social progress to cooperate with each other, and in the current concept of "copyright". "Copyright" for this freedom, not only represents the basic human rights of everyone (free), but also against everyone to assist each other, and seek the driving force for social progress. Under the status of the copyright, all users strive for freedom of freedom by their respective breaks, the progress of society and the basic human rights are controlled by those non-free software. From the perspective of all kinds of religions or philosophical philosophy of persuades people in the world, they are all helping each other and support each other. However, these non-free software, or the owners of non-free software, completely conflicting such a philosophy. This is why I adhere to "software should be freely shared by the public", because the non-free software in hand in hand is not just unfair, but also unsolve. However, those non-free software controls, but the resource sharing of free software is "pirate", "predators". It is very impossible to simulate "free cooperation" to simulate the allegations of "murder". In my concept, sharing is not just sinful, but sharing should also be encouraged. I don't think that sharing with everyone must be accused. On the contrary, this is not only the basic human rights of life, but also more representative of people in human nature. It is the basic purpose of free software and must also be settled. GNU: gnu is not linux For this freedom, breaking this unfair and unethical, we must re-establish "free software." At the beginning of the establishment, in view of the basis of the computer's computer, the promotion of free software must also start from the operating system. Let us first talk about the noun for GNU / Linux. In order to be compatible with UNIX operating system, we created a GNU. (This word is derived from a nicknameless cycle, the GNU is GNU is not linux). In order to further develop this system, we must not only develop new systems, but also develop from existing software. In 1991, most of the software completed almost, only the core of the operating system was not completely completed. Therefore, after Linux is created and has become the core of the GNU operating system, the complete GNU / Linux operating system is formally established.
It is a fallacy that when GNU / Linux is accepted for everyone, many people began confusion. The biggest mistakes are the full "GNU / Linux" operating system, misunderstand or misunderstand "Linux". There is no mistake, Linux core is the last puzzle of the entire GNU / Linux operating system plan. However, as the root of the software, Linux help is not big. The reason is to chase the bottom, which is that everyone has forgotten the reasons and significance of free software. Since it is only in the start-up phase, everyone is still an urgent desire for free software. Therefore, I have again called for everyone, I have to keep in mind that "the revolution has not been successful, comrades still must work", and continue to work for free software. Why do I want to say this? Because everyone is in the focus of free software, they are placed on some people who have the ideal departure from the original ideals. Two years ago, the movement of the original codes of the sheepskin began to accept a wide range of people. A group of people promoting this exercise although working with us, the concept behind it is not the concept of freedom of morality, and mutual help with communities. Conversely, they focus on business considerations. These people want to create a larger business opportunity to invite business people. In fact, in this case, it is also possible to bring benefits to some companies. For example, many commercial companies start using free software because of these people's promotion. However, this short-term small river, but it is inevitable will lead to future possible crises. For example, these company groups with free software are not taking into account the moral factors behind the initiating free software motion. If everyone does not understand this deep moral factor, the roots of the power of free software are also weak. At the same time, if you only see the benefits, advantages and strength of free software, then when a non-free software has more functions and greater advantages, the original concept is naturally giving free software. usage of. This is not only in violation of free software, but also destroyed the concept of free use and sharing computer program resources, the community also stagnates the power of continuous growth because of the debris of free software. Therefore, I have again called for everyone to enjoy free, if you don't pay attention, don't cherish this freedom, then she will lose. Various communities (social, country) that require sustained growth, if you need this free software concept, you must try to fight for her. I am sincerely hopeful in the reporters, when reporting free software, it is necessary to think of the two different philosophy of philosophy in this community: "Commercial Considering" and "Wars for the Concept", try to clarify. Due to these two different community concepts, the contribution to various social and communities is also different. Therefore, it is hoped that you can depart from the difference between the two to give different angles. The patent rights killed the development of the vitality of GNU / Linux, in addition to continuing to develop free software, and also develop free hardware drivers. But now the biggest problem is in "law". At present, some laws have made the development of free software. For example, in the United States, some algorithms, file formats are protected by patents. Under such protective umbrellas, the writing of free software is not written or modified for these programs. In fact, the free software writer is absolutely capable of writing a variety of large programs. However, under the decree, we cannot use these programs, naturally unable to help anyone using these programs. I have to say that countries must recognize the stupidity and imperiality of non-free software.
As in December last year, I tried to call on the Amazon online bookstore to buy a book. Because Amarz bookstore uses software patents to hinder competitors in all markets. If the consumer does not take any action, the victim will be yourself. Therefore, the United States may be trapped in the decree of this patent right, leading to software development without "bright", I hope you can think of this, don't step on the rear of the United States. Let me try to explain the patent sin. If a country's decree, the patent right of the software is allowed. Then it means that this country will master these non-free software. If the Software R & D is controlled in the hands of the country, it means that the world's software research and development is completely controlled in the United States, Europe and Japan's developed countries in the United States. As for other countries? Sorry, the threshold for entering the software industry has been talled. If you don't understand this immediately, please go to http://lpt.ai.mit.edu. As for the concept of free software, please take http://www.gnu.org, especially the philosophy link, as it illustrates the motivation and philosophy of free software. Free is free rather than free here to clarify an idea: Free, representing the "freedom" of the speech rather than the price "free". Of course, the price is not an important factor, but for the following two, it is exception: First, developing countries, money is of course extremely important; Of course, it is extremely unfair. The more free software is developed, it means that our children will be controlled by non-free software. For example, if we only hire a small number of programming designers, we will cost the energy in the development and design of free software, then only a few years, the costs of these employments will save our huge amount, such as Microsoft Windows license. Procedure above. At the same time, for countries that pay attention to the software industry, investment free software is extremely important, and different countries can develop different from their national conditions, and their own needs. Finally, I sincerely hope in the future of the world, such as Windows, etc., can no longer be used by everyone. Answer reporter: Reporter: Does GNU / Linux replace the status of Microsoft? Richard Stalman (hereinafter referred to as R.s): The future is unpredictable. Just in the development trajectory of GNU / Linux, no one thought that such a concept will succeed, in fact she succeed. Therefore, if the ultimate goal is freedom, then, no matter how many opportunities, everyone should strive, and the more people in the collection, the higher the chance of success. (Reverse reporter) Are you willing to join this ranks together? Work together with us? Reporter: Don't you think of software writer, have ownership of its software? R.S: Fully wrong! Software is what I wrote, so I have the right to control the user's concept is completely wrong. I am a program's designer, the hardships of the program design, but this cannot be treated as the power and excuse of anyone. Some people think that if the user is not subject to any restrictions and control, the software designer has the power to write any program software, which is not threatened. I think that development software contributes to the development of human beings, and anyone has no right to use this as a reason for controlling other people. Reporter: How to make profits for free software? R.s: There are many ways.
