Don't get me wrong. I actually do agree with you. I think the difference
|
|
is that I think there is a place in the world for both closed and open
|
|
source or in your terms "Free" software.
|
|
|
|
If we had thought there was a place for non-free software, we would
|
|
have concluded there was a place for Unix--so we would not have needed
|
|
to write GNU.
|
|
|
|
I have always applauded the FSF efforts, I was just surprised at the
|
|
extent of the commitment you have made.
|
|
|
|
This strong commitment is what enables us to carry on for so many
|
|
years on such a difficult job as writing a replacement for Unix.
|
|
|
|
To me, the point should be providing the best product. I guess to
|
|
you it is the same, with a different definition of what the "best" would
|
|
incorporate.
|
|
|
|
Yes, that's right--you and we have different values. In the GNU
|
|
Project we value freedom more than technical convenience and power.
|
|
|
|
Life offers us repeated opportunities to part with our freedom. The
|
|
only way people will keep their freedom is if they value it enough to
|
|
reject such opportunities.
