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

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.

>To quote Michael Tiemann from Open Sources

```

It's just a text file.

https://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/old-releases/gcc-1/

You can find GCC 0.9 there.
