"Dude, he's an idiot, can't even install an OS."

hey man, plenty of dope software use the GPL. if it gives them the protections they need to feel like they can share software, thats super important

i doubt very much RMS wrote GCC on his own

i KNOW he didnt write emacs on his own

Denying history now?

Might as well doubt the Earth is more than 6000 years old.

no, ive read some text logs from people working on emacs

its on ED, lol

ED is now gospel?

god no

if you dont believe me i can look for proof somewhere else

besides his politics, the man is insufferable. i would never let him enter my home

Linus can come kickit anytime, he only live 30miles away

you can say idk what im talking about, but if so, i need more data. ive spent days looking up more info on him

and a lot longer on gpl and licensing stuff

You're really something, trying to cast doubt that Stallman even wrote GCC in the first place.

what did Michael Tiemann do

Gonna deny the moon landing too?

Don't tell me you're a flat earther too?

i am saying i doubt he wrote it singlehandedly

Yeah, GCC was the very first GNU software he wrote after he quit the lab.

After a while people joined in.

how many people did GNU Foundation start with before GCC released

Anyone have that parkland meme with the no bang bang thing

Im seeing plenty of other names in the 1.37 source

Yes, that's not 1.0, nor pre-1.0 though.

Learn to count.

okay can you find me earliest known version's src

37 is greater than 0.

how is fighting gay marriage libertarian

way i see it is

you either remove marriage from state or you include it
