15 Great Quotes from Torvalds and Stallman about Free and Open Source Software

,----[ Quote ]
| 1. "To be able to choose between proprietary software packages is to be able 
| to choose your master. Freedom means not having a master. And in the area of 
| computing, freedom means not using proprietary software."  
|       -Richard M. Stallman
| 
| 2. “Software is like sex: it's better when it's free.”
|        -Linus Torvalds
| 
| 3. “Value your freedom or you will lose it, teaches history. 'Don't bother us 
| with politics', respond those who don't want to learn.” 
|        -Richard M. Stallman
| 
| 4. “Software patents are a huge potential threat to the ability of people to 
| work together on open source. Making it easier for companies and communities 
| that have patents to make those patents available in a common pool for people 
| to use is one way to try to help developers deal with the threat.”   
|       -Linus Torvalds
| 
| 5. “If programmers deserve to be rewarded for creating innovative programs, 
| by the same token they deserve to be punished if they restrict the use of 
| these programs.”  
|       -Richard M. Stallman
