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!
