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.

You want the history of the GPL? Go dig around Usenet. I don't have links, and am not interested in digging them up. It wasn't called copyleft.

You’re 30+ years late for that kind of statement and debate.

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

Go dig in old Usenet discussions.

“Copyleft-style licenses would have happened without RMS.” Any actual fact that can legitimate this? Or just assumption? Just curious.
