“为什么微软高管会因为一个名叫Richard Stallman的长发叛逆黑客的奇特举动而夜不能寐？为什么地球上最顶尖的程序员会尊奉他为‘圣伊格努修斯’（St. Ignucius）？一个执迷于制作完美模型火箭的固执早熟少年，又是如何成长为软件工业巨头歌利亚面前的大卫？”“《Free as in Freedom》记录了这位特立独行的天才的蜕变历程：从天赋异禀、遗世独立的神童，到遭受排挤的少年叛逆者，再到受人崇敬又备受非议的自由卫士。通过对Stallman、其家人、黑客同行以及科技界人士的广泛采访……”

直到我开始读《Free as in Freedom》，看到其他那些厉害的早期程序员对他的评价，我才意识到他到底有多牛逼。即便在那些神人当中，他也鹤立鸡群。有时我会想：“他不得不放弃写代码，真是太可惜了！”但转念一想……
I didn't realize just how crazy smart he was until I started reading Free as in Freedom and read the accounts of how other impressive early programmers viewed him. Even among these guys, he stood out. Sometimes I think, "what a shame it is that he had to stop coding!" Then I think of how…
……“Hacker News”。理查德·斯托曼（Richard Stallman）创立自由软件运动，起因完全就是因为施乐（Xerox）9700 激光打印机的驱动是不开源的。去读读 Steven Levy 的《Hackers》和 Sam Williams 的《Free as in Freedom》吧。对我这样一个黑客来说，问“为什么要在乎驱动是不是开源的”，就像在问“为什么要在乎自己是不是奴隶？”一样。
…"Hacker News." Richard Stallman literally started the Free Software movement because the driver to the Xerox 9700 laster printer was closed source. Please read Steven Levy's Hackers and Sam William's Free as in Freedom. Asking "why care whether the driver is open source" to me as a hacker is like asking "why care whether you are a slave?"
Sam Williams 写的《Free as in Freedom》是一本非常有意思的书，讲的是理查德·斯托曼以及自由软件运动的起源。由斯托曼本人修订的版本遵循 GFDL 开源：https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmcGNKQQKnywV4mtAsUFmi9xaYthkoBucwAKGo7...
Free as in Freedom by Sam Williams is quite an interesting book about Richard Stallman and the origins of the free software movement. A version revised by Stallman himself is available under the GFDL: https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmcGNKQQKnywV4mtAsUFmi9xaYthkoBucwAKGo7...

……自由软件是一个复杂的现象，我恕难苟同——他根本没有公正地讲清楚其创立之初就自带的“自我毁灭之因”。我的描述主要基于 Sam Williams 极为出色的《Free as in Freedom》：http://www.sampenrose.net/tools/
…Free Software is a complex phenomenon, and I respectfully submit that he doesn't do justice to the seeds-of-its-own-demise nature of its founding. My account, based largely on Sam Williams' outstanding Free as in Freedom: http://www.sampenrose.net/tools/
