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'. --[[Special:Contributions/188.113.76.15|188.113.76.15]] 15:38, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

The pronunciation of GNU is actually "g'new" not "new". [[Special:Contributions/108.162.249.8|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... {{unsigned ip|108.162.249.223}}
: The point is not to kill him, but to startle him into a response to an absurd situation which the pranksters find humorous. -Pennpenn [[Special:Contributions/108.162.249.205|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? {{unsigned ip|173.245.55.61}}
: Read harder, there is RMS's comment on them running away. [[Special:Contributions/173.245.56.154|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.

Linus Torvalds isn't "mostly harmless". [[Special:Contributions/108.162.237.192|108.162.237.192]] 16:25, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

There is a bit of allusion to the movie Brazil, where government goons break into people's homes, cutting through walls and ceilings, in their pursuit of idealists who provide free services -- which is incompatible with the governing economic system.

Im not an active editor of this site, but i couldn't help but notice and point out that the grammar of this specific page is rather rough around the edges. if someone has the time to address this, that would be fantastic. {{unsigned ip|162.158.68.83}}

It's not "two ninjas were having fun", it's that two ''people'' were having fun. They dressed as ninjas to mess with him. There's no reason to think they actually ''are'' ninjas. That's just silly. —[[User:Kazvorpal|Kazvorpal]] ([[User talk:Kazvorpal|talk]]) 01:38, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

My dad actually had a beer with Linus Torvalds. [[User:Maen|Maen_the_Magnificent]] ([[User talk:Maen|talk]]) 21:07, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
