Talk:225: Open Source
"Richard Stallman is famous for beginning the GNU Project and is outspoken on the topic of Open Source software and Free software." Specifically, he is an outspoken critic of Open Source, and an outspoken proponent of Free Software. Blaisepascal (talk) 02:09, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
GPL isn't a recursive abbreviation for ‘GNU Public License’, then it would have to be called ‘GPL Public License’. GNU in itself, on the other hand, is a recursive abbreviation for 'GNU's Not Unix'. --188.113.76.15 15:38, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

The pronunciation of GNU is actually "g'new" not "new". 108.162.249.8 02:06, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
~ ~ ~ ~ Aren't ninjas supposed to be stealthy and silent? Of course, they could have been made to announce their mission to Richard before (perhaps) killing him, but still... 108.162.249.223 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
- The point is not to kill him, but to startle him into a response to an absurd situation which the pranksters find humorous. -Pennpenn 108.162.249.205 03:00, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
The comic isn't quite explained here. Did the ninjas kill RMS, or were they just pretend-ninjas trying to scare him? Is the blob in the last panel a blood smear or a hood being carried? 173.245.55.61 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
- Read harder, there is RMS's comment on them running away. 173.245.56.154 21:02, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
I have a bit of an issue with calling non-free software traditional. RMS is the traditionalist here. He created GNU for that very purpose, to get back to the traditional method of being able to access and modify your source, and then share any fixes you made with the wider community. 173.245.56.154 21:02, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
