The great doctor Richard Matthew Stallman (RMS, born 1953 in New York) is one of the biggest figures in software history, the founder of the [GNU project](gnu.md), [free software foundation](fsf.md), inventor of [free software](free_software.md) and the author of a famous text editor [emacs](emacs.md).

He has a beautifully minimalist website http://www.stallman.org where he actively comments on current news and issues, even though regarding software he isn't too concerned about [bloat](bloat.md) (judging by the GNU software and his own creation, the emacs editor).

He is a weird person, having been recorded eating dirt from his feet before giving a lecture. In the book *Free as in Freedom* he admits he might be autistic.
