Stallman only calls computer programmers "hackers" because he'd prefer to see them programming for free

why code for Google and Microsoft, for free?

Charge for the service, not the product

i still enjoy a nice piece of affordable full price retail software

The cheap software rack at Target

Subscription based software can sugma

doesnt make it not free for the enduser

I know it doesn't.

they dont have to agree to any terms under it
