He +single-handedly ignited what has become a world-wide movement to +create software that is Free, with a capital F. He has toiled for +years at a project that many once considered a fool’s errand, and now +that is widely seen as “inevitable.”</em><br> —<strong>Simon L. +Garfinkel,</strong> computer science author and columnist +<br> +<br> +<em>By his hugely successful efforts to establish the idea of “Free +Software,” Stallman has made a massive contribution to the human +condition.

You may dislike +some of his attitudes, but you cannot avoid his ideas.
