no

it says in the license that it does not

many companies wont touch anything GPL, not even for output-only

Except for the linux kernel, right?

Oh, and GCC.

Oh, and GDB.

stallman's computing needs can be met by a typewriter and fax machine, and acts like everyone else's should too

Oh, and gtk+.

Oh, and Cairo.

im sure Linus would be happy if he didnt need GCC for kernel

That's just a wild accusation out of your ass.

people have to SET UP rms computer to use

he doesnt even know how to intall an os

The accusation that he "acts like everyone else should to" is ad hominem.

ive looked up everything i can find on the man

when he says my fake freedom is more important than my productivity

The guy wrote a compiler from scratch, having to figure it out himself. One of the most powerful text editors. Nearly all the command line utilities that everyone uses every day on any unix system.

"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

Check it out, see how wrong you are.

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
