Face it. He's a try-hard. He calls himself Dr. Stallman despite only having honorary degrees. That would be like Kanye West calling himself Dr Kanye West. But he doesn't because even he knows that's pretentious.
If Kanye West is less pretentious than you, you're doing something wrong.
Stallman is a gargantuan faggot who calls himself a 'doctor' without having gained a PhD, destroys any credibility he has by acting like an ass "I'm not glad he's dead but I'm glad he's gone" and his only real claim to fame is contributing to the creation of Linux.
Without Linus and Linux the GPL and FSF would have faded into obscurity. They only reason anyone pays them any heed now is because of the (negligible) help it gave Linus back in the early days of Linux.
If anything the FSF should rename itself Linux/FSF, simply because the Linux project and Linus are the only reason anyone would pay them any attention now.
Stallman's work is just a footnote in the history of Linus's achievements. He should be grateful for that, otherwise he would be nothing.
Demanding people call Linux GNU/Linux is audacious.
Lucas Wilson
I'd just like to interject for moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

The whole GNU/Linux debate has been beaten to death. I don't think there's anything wrong with separating a person from their ideas. Stallman is definitely an ass, but I appreciate the GPL and his contributions to the gigantic clusterfuck we know as Linux.
To me his ideas just represent an idealism that nobody but Stallman himself can reasonably live by. Every new car on the road has proprietary software on it. No PC can be 100% free because every implementation of UEFI is proprietary. But it is good to know that someone is out there trying to spread awareness.
Colton Phillips
He's not spreading awareness, he's taking credit for the work of others to stay relevant. He's a sad little man.
Jaxon Taylor
BUMP Yes!!! Someone who has made his own Operating System and C based language! NIGGER NIGGER FAGGOT CIA!!!

The OS should just be called GNU.
Stallmanu's birthday should be a national holiday.
People who try to use proprietary software licenses should be shot.
Jose Moore
T. Delusional Stallmanite
Stall man couldn't even get his masters, why do you think he would be capable of writing his own OS?
Brayden Gutierrez
GCC was relevant before Linux wasn't even a thing. Someone would have created a FOSS kernal eventually and if not Hurd would have been used instead reaching the he critical al mass required for it to actually be good (i.e. not like it is today).
Linus is based but more for git than Linux which someone would have done either way.
Jonathan Campbell
what about Dr. Dre?

Bill Gates for sticky.

One other thing. Make an image of Linus similar to the one of Stallman in the sticky. If you make something good someone might actually listen to you.

I agree that he shouldn't call himself Doctor because honorary degrees are worthless, but he's still a pretty cool guy. Honestly though I'd like for Terry to be on the sticky.
Carter Carter
It's the other way around senpai, the only GNU thing Linus has ever used is the license, GNUfags where the ones that adopted the kernel
Chase Myers
>the only GNU thing Linus has ever used is the license Oh, and GCC
Matthew Cook
Plenty of people have written compilers, they don't deserve to be called doctors for it.
Freetards belittle Linus while overstating Stallsham's achievements. Fucking communist scum.
Logan Perry
Stallman has published papers and is a pioneer in AI, Linus has literally zero research
Samuel Stewart
A chair isn't named after just the legs.
Carson Wilson
Linus has an honorary doctorate too. Linus doesn't go around calling himself Dr Torvalds.
Gavin Gonzalez
Neither is it called Stool/legs, it's a culmination of two things and the most widely held name is what it is.
Just like Linux. Calling a chair Stall/Legs is just as pretentious as calling it GNU/Linux.
Go to bed """"Doctor""" Stallman
Jack Cook
Totally agree OP
Stallman is trying to piggybag Linus
Kayden Gomez
Why do you even care so much? Just let him do his thing, he's not hurting anyone.
Angel Lopez
Obvious bate. He's done more than you. If you've made enough of a recognizable contribution to warrant receiving an honorary doctorate I think you've earned it. At that, you've earned it in a way that money can't necessarily buy as is largely the case with any other doctorate. Sure, he's cooky, but he's not dumb. Honestly, meme aside I do kind of admire him for his passion for learning and freedom. He's right you know. He's right about the pitfalls of proprietary software and that the only trusted model must be the FOSS model. He's probably just way before his time. I don't think people will care about this cause until the general public holds a basic grasp on programming and by that time he'll be long dead. Hope I live to see that.
Easton Baker
>Without Linus and Linux the GPL and FSF would have faded into obscurity.
Linus writes beautiful code. He has published some side projects that he wrote all on his own and the code is just wonderful. He also lives in the real world while still maintaining his open source ideals and supporting himself through his work.
RMS is basically a homeless loser who hasn't made any real contributions in the last 20 years. He is still super butthurt that Linux beet HURD (but hey, HURD just got basic sound support in 2016!) and basically tries to claim Linux because Linus used GCC and the GNU coreutils. He survives on the charity of others and speaking engagements where he spouts his insane, paranoid, philosophy. Basically he won't be happy until all the programmers are homeless hackers like him and all the companies are shut down. How people are supposed to support themselves and their families in that scenario aren't things he has to deal with because he is basically a permanent grad student. He does make some good points about privacy, but for him, there is no middle ground. Anything that may reduce your privacy even the slightest bit (like movie recommendations on Netflix) is evil according to him, and must be destroyed. In a lot of ways he show classic signs of mental splitting, which is a classic symptom of mental illness. To top it off, when he does write code, he does so in the style of the awful GNU style guide which is a crime against humanity IMHO.
So, in a nutshell: He's a bird-fucking, self-absorbed, power hungry, toe jam eating pedophile that thinks everything should be free and everyone should be forced to share, who looks like he hasn't showered in years so as to create a static shield around his body to protect from aliens. He also created an OS without a kernel because he's basically Steve Jobs gone communist. Oh, and he calls himself doctor though he holds no PhD.
Juan Wood
Have some respect for the dead, rip.
Brayden Lewis
Lots of people have done more than me, doesn't give them the right to dress themselves in borrowed robes and call themself a doctor.
Disgusting Stallmanite communist
Liam Brooks
>freedom
GPL doesn't advocate freedom, it advocates Stallmanism.
According to freedom one, I can run software for any purpose. True freedom indeed. So since I can use it for any purpose, does that include running a script to remove any traces of GPL licenses and re-licensing it all as BSD/MIT? I mean, that is true freedom.. to be able to use software for ANY purpose
>hurr yeah well it's freedom provided you do exactly what I say
Fuck off Stallman. Pretend Doctor. Genuine faggot.
Jeremiah Ross
you guys must be real shit losers to point out others instead of doing something meaningful

He do not write any code. He do not read any code. Did he write any program ?
Michael Hall
What should the sticky image be? I vote for a shoop of Linus, Terry and Gates looking heroic as fuck.
Stallman is a fat fucking nutjob and admitted kike. He scammed others in to copying UNIX tools so he could slap his name and his restrictive license on it all as if he created it. Well fuck you Stallman, you don't have many years left in you now and only a few freetards will care when you die.

Disregard the fact that it is more difficult to get a honorary dr degree and the fact he got 12 of them + 3 professorships like wtf are you even old enough to be alone on the interwebs?
>Stallman's work is just a footnote in the history of Linus's achievements. He should be grateful for that, otherwise he would be nothing.
i cant even really estimate the level of retard you are. a giant part of todays economy is driven by things that came from or where inspired by rms

You can get honorary doctorates for donating to institutions.
