Z:gnu-www-ja-rms-interview-edinburgh--6ec609-In the nineties as the GNU+Lin/en

In the nineties as the GNU+Linux system became popular and got to have some millions of users, many of them were techies with technical blinders on, who did not want to look at things in terms of right and wrong, but only in terms of effective or ineffective. So they began telling many other people, here is an operating system that is very reliable, and is powerful, and it's cool and exciting, and you can get it cheap. And they did not mention, that this allowed you to avoid an unethical betrayal of the rest of society. That it allowed users to avoid being kept divided and helpless.
