The basis for that last sentence comes from:
https://stallman.org/stallman-computing.html
"I never used Unix (not even for a minute) until after I decided to
develop a free replacement for it (the GNU system). I chose that design
to follow because it was portable and seemed fairly clean. I was never a
fan of Unix; I had some criticisms of it too. But it was ok overall as a
model."
What an insufferable lunatic prick: "I was never a fan of Unix", but
I'll spend years cloning it and ask others to do the same. wtf?
There's a shitload of flame and troll material at that
'stallman-computing' link. The self-important, egotistical blowhard is
too strange for words:
* "the injustice of nonfree software"
* "I never pay for anything on the Web, because that generally requires
running nonfree Javascript code in my browser."
* "I stopped using it [the OLPC] because the OLPC project decided to
make their machine support Windows, so I did not want to appear to
endorse it by visibly carrying it around."
huh?
With that massive belly, he clearly and shamelessly endorses gluttony
and obesity.

I may deserve the USENIX Flame award for my near 20 years of tireless
work on cola. Vote for DFS!
