Free as in Freedom interweaves biographical snapshots of GNU project founder Richard Stallman with the political, social and economic history of the free software movement. It examines Stallman's unique personality and how that personality has been at turns a driving force and a drawback in terms of the movement's overall success. Free as in Freedom examines one man's 20-year attempt to codify and communicate the ethics of 1970s era "hacking" culture in such a way that later generations might easily share and build upon the knowledge of their computing forebears. The book documents Stallman's page.;Table of Contents; Preface; Comments and Questions; Acknowledgments; For Want of a Printer; 2001: A Hacker's Odyssey; A Portrait of the Hacker as a Young Man; Impeach God; Small Puddle of Freedom; The Emacs Commune; A Stark Moral Choice; St. Ignucius; The GNU General Public License; GNU/Linux; Open Source; A Brief Journey Through Hacker Hell; Continuing the Fight; Crushing Loneliness; Terminology; Hack, Hackers, and Hacking; GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL); 0.
