Thread. The whole thread. Stallman did not found a movement. He rode it. Open source software, free software, whatever... the FSF is not necessary for any of it. And right now it's demonstrating that we shouldn't trust it. Plus, many other orgs do better work.https://twitter.com/sarahmei/status/1177019608789708801 …

What's the point in making things up? Nobody thinks rms invented FLOSS. But he created the concept of copyleft licenses, and he created the GNU project. And the FSF has done a lot of great work, and is actually concerned with user's rights.

He did not create the concept of the copyleft. He branded it *as* copyleft, and made himself the front man for a bunch of folks that were already pushing the concepts. Copyleft-style licenses would have happened without RMS.

Can you show me the copyleft licenses that happened before rms? I'd love to read them.

You're asking about stuff I didn't care about, over 25-30 years ago. Go find out.
