      personally Richard Stallman is my favorite out of the two but both are amazing people, who’s impact on the world of software can not be understated.

        If you want to see what the world would look like without the GPL, just look at how the BSDs are getting shanked by Apple (and many other companies too, but they’re the biggest).

        If it weren’t for him, I have no idea what Linux would be today. No doubt in my mind, RMS is #1 on my list of most important software developers to have ever lived.
