Talk:Richard Stallman

Jobs anecdote
When verifying this paragraph: using the cited source I was surprised to find that the source was primary: Stallman bringing up this anecdote himself in an email. We shouldn't use a primary source for such a big self-serving claim. In addition, the date is wrong, the email is from 1993, but the email itself mentions "a long time ago" in 1993, so the anecdote must be well before 1993. Overall, I would suggest to remove the anecdote entirely unless it is covered in reliable secondary sources. I've made a small edit to address the biggest issues.

activism -> terminologies
the link "closed source software" redirects to "proprietary software", which is linked a few words before, so i feel like "closed source software" should not be a link - some bored kid at school 20:13, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
