But the reason for developing GNU, that was unique. GNU is the only operating system, as far as I know, ever developed for the purpose of freedom. Not for technical motivations, not for commercial motivations. GNU was written for your freedom. Because without a free operating system, it's impossible to have freedom and use a computer. And there were none, and I wanted people to have freedom, so it was up to me to write one.
