Z:gnu-www-ja-google-engineering-talk--80e25e-During the 1980s, our work on/en

During the 1980s, our work on the GNU Project was to develop or find all these pieces of GNU so that we could have a complete GNU system. In some cases, someone else wrote a program and made it free software and we were able to use it, and that was good because it shortened the work that we had to do. For instance, the X Window System is one of the programs that was developed by others for reasons of their own, but they did make it free software, so we could use it.
