Also, because schools must teach the spirit of goodwill, the habit of helping others around you, every class should have this rule: students, if you bring software to class you may not keep it for yourself.

More quotes by Richard Stallman
The interesting thing about cloud computing is that we've redefined cloud computing to include everything that we already do.
Richard Stallman
I've read that male dolphins try to have sex with humans, and female apes solicit sex from humans. What is wrong with giving them what they want, if that's what turns you on, or even just to gratify them?
Richard Stallman
Giving the Linus Torvalds Award to the Free Software Foundation is a bit like giving the Han Solo Award to the Rebel Alliance.
Richard Stallman
I'm always happy when I'm protesting.
Richard Stallman
Copying all or parts of a program is as natural to a programmer as breathing, and as productive. It ought to be as free.
Richard Stallman
Free software' is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should think of 'free' as in 'free speech,' not as in 'free beer'.
Richard Stallman
To be able to choose between proprietary software packages is to be able to choose your master. Freedom means not having a master.
Richard Stallman
In terms of effect on the world, it's very good that I've lived. And so I guess, if I could go back in time and prevent my birth, I wouldn't do it. But I sure wish I hadn't had so much pain.
Richard Stallman
Snow is so beautiful, it doesn't have to be useful.
Richard Stallman
Android is a major step towards an ethical, user-controlled, free-software portable phone, but there is a long way to go.
Richard Stallman
If ebooks mean that readers' freedom must either increase or decrease, we must demand the increase.
Richard Stallman
I consider that the Golden Rule requires that if I like a program I must share it with other people who like it. Software sellers want to divide the users and conquer them, making each user agree not to share with others. I refuse to break solidarity with other users in this way.
Richard Stallman
Writing non-free software is not an ethically legitimate activity, so if people who do this run into trouble, that's good! All businesses based on non-free software ought to fail, and the sooner the better.
Richard Stallman
Anything that prevents you from being friendly, a good neighbour, is a terror tactic.
Richard Stallman
I suppose many people will continue moving towards careless computing, because there's a sucker born every minute.
Richard Stallman
The most powerful programming language is Lisp. If you don't know Lisp (or its variant, Scheme), you don't appreciate what a powerful language is. Once you learn Lisp you will see what is missing in most other languages.
Richard Stallman
Would a dating service for people on the net be frowned upon by DCA? I hope not. But even if it is, don't let that stop you from notifying me via net mail if you start one.
Richard Stallman
No person, no idea, and no religion deserves to be illegal to insult, not even the Church of Emacs.
Richard Stallman
Creativity can be a social contribution, but only in so far as society is free to use the results.
Richard Stallman
Fighting patents one by one will never eliminate the danger of software patents, any more than swatting mosquitoes will eliminate malaria.
