This second Emacs program was &lsquo;free software&rsquo; in the modern sense of the term &mdash; it was part of an explicit political campaign to make software free. The essence of this campaign was that everybody should be free to do the things we did in the old days at MIT, working together on software and working with whomever wanted to work with us. That is the basis for the free software movement &mdash; the experience I had, the life that I've lived at the MIT AI lab &mdash; to be working on human knowledge, and not be standing in the way of anybody's further using and further disseminating human knowledge.
