Without the FSF, you would very likely not have free (as in freedom) compilers, free (as in freedom) operating systems, free (as in freedom) web browsers, free (as in freedom) text editors, free (as in freedom) web servers, free (as in freedom) games, free (as in freedom) cryptography, and so on.
So you're saying *BSD does not exist. That's a bold statement to make.
The Unixes which became the BSDs were proprietary when GNU was started. Richard (Stallman) convinced the people writing code for them to liberate part of their codebases so that he could use them in GNU. This is all a matter of public record. So yes, *BSD does exist, but without the actions of Stallman and the FSF I would be surprised if anyone involved in the project would've bothered to make the code free (as in freedom). -- Aleksa Sarai Software Engineer (Containers) SUSE Linux GmbH https://www.cyphar.com/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
