    Richard Stallman is the creator of the Emacs text editor, and of GNU,
    a freely distributed, complete software system to replace UNIX.  He
    was one of the hackers at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory,
    and contributed in many ways to its excellent software environment,
    including major portions of the design and implementation of the MIT
    Lisp Machine software.  The GNU project is inspired by his observations
    on the personal, societal, and technical problems that result from
    the commercialization of software.
