,----[ Quote ]
| FSF volunteer and the short film's writer-producer Matt Lee said, "Stephen
| has generously donated his time to the cause of free software. His ability to
| communicate a technological and philosophical movement in terms of the basic
| principles of sharing and user freedom -- ideas that everyone can
| understand -- will introduce a new and broader audience to the benefits of
| free software."

| Stallman began development of free-as-in-freedom Unix-like GNU software in
| September, 1983. In 1992, all the essential pieces of the GNU system were
| complete, except for one, the operating system kernel.
