+<h2>GNU Users Who Have Never Heard of GNU</h2>
+
+<p><strong>by <a href="http://www.stallman.org/";>Richard
Stallman</a></strong></p>
+
+<div class="announcement">
+ <blockquote><p>To learn more about this issue, you can also read
+our <a href="/gnu/gnu-linux-faq.html">GNU/Linux FAQ</a>, our page on
+<a href="/gnu/why-gnu-linux.html">Why GNU/Linux?</a>
+and our page on <a href="/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html">Linux and the GNU
Project</a>.
+</p></blockquote>
+</div>
+
+<p>Most people have never heard of GNU. Even most of the people who use
+the GNU system have never heard of GNU, thanks to so many people and
+companies who teach them to call it “Linux”. Nonetheless,
+the name GNU has certain associations, which people will discover once
+they hear the name. GNU is associated with the ideals of freedom of the
+free software movement. That association is no accident; the motive for
+developing GNU was specifically to make it possible to use a computer
+and have freedom.</p>
+
+<p>The association between the name GNU and our goals of freedom and
+social solidarity exists in the minds of hundreds of thousands of
+GNU/Linux users that do know about GNU. It exists in Wikipedia. And it
+exists around the web; if these users search for GNU, they will find <a
+href="http://www.gnu.org";>www.gnu.org</a>, which talks about free
+software and freedom.</p>
+
+<p>A person seeing the name “GNU” for the first time in
+“GNU/Linux” won't immediately associate it with anything.
+However, when people know that the system is basically GNU, that brings
+them a step closer to learning about our ideals. For instance, they
+might become curious and look for more information about GNU.</p>
+
+<p>If they don't look for it, they may encounter it anyway. The
+“open source” rhetoric tends to lead people's attention away
+from issues of users' freedom, but not totally; there is still
+discussion of GNU and free software, and people have some chance of
+coming across it. When that happens, the reader is more likely to pay
+attention to information about GNU (such as that it's the work of a
+campaign for freedom and community) if he knows he is a user of the GNU
+system.</p>
+
+<p>Over time, calling the system “GNU/Linux” spreads
+awareness of the ideals of freedom for which we developed the GNU
+system. It is also useful as a reminder for people in our community who
+know about these ideals, in a world where much of discussion of free
+software takes a totally practical (and thus amoral) approach. When we
+ask you to call the system “GNU/Linux”, we do so because
+awareness of GNU slowly but surely brings with it awareness of the free
+software ideals of freedom and community.</p>

+<h2>Initial Announcement</h2>
+
+<p> This is the original announcement of the GNU Project, written by
+<a href="http://www.stallman.org/";>Richard Stallman</a> on September
+27th 1983.</p>
+
+<p> The history of the GNU Project is in many ways different from this
+initial plan. For example, the beginning was delayed until January,
+1984 and several of the details about <a
+href="/philosophy/free-sw.html">free software</a> had not yet been
+clarified.</p>
+
+<h3>Free Unix!</h3>
+
+<p>Starting this Thanksgiving I am going to write a complete
+Unix-compatible software system called GNU (for Gnu's Not Unix), and
+give it away free<a href="#f1">(1)</a> to everyone who can use it.
+Contributions of time, money, programs and equipment are greatly
+needed.</p>
+
+<p>To begin with, GNU will be a kernel plus all the utilities needed
+to write and run C programs: editor, shell, C compiler, linker,
+assembler, and a few other things. After this we will add a text
+formatter, a YACC, an Empire game, a spreadsheet, and hundreds of
+other things. We hope to supply, eventually, everything useful that
+normally comes with a Unix system, and anything else useful, including
+on-line and hardcopy documentation.</p>
+
+<p>GNU will be able to run Unix programs, but will not be identical to
+Unix. We will make all improvements that are convenient, based on our
+experience with other operating systems. In particular, we plan to
+have longer filenames, file version numbers, a crashproof file system,
+filename completion perhaps, terminal-independent display support, and
+eventually a Lisp-based window system through which several Lisp
+programs and ordinary Unix programs can share a screen. Both C and
+Lisp will be available as system programming languages. We will have
+network software based on MIT's chaosnet protocol, far superior to
+UUCP. We may also have something compatible with UUCP.</p>
+
+
+<h3>Who Am I?</h3>
+
+<p>I am Richard Stallman, inventor of the original much-imitated EMACS
+editor, now at the Artificial Intelligence Lab at MIT. I have worked
+extensively on compilers, editors, debuggers, command interpreters,
+the Incompatible Timesharing System and the Lisp Machine operating
+system. I pioneered terminal-independent display support in ITS. In
+addition I have implemented one crashproof file system and two window
+systems for Lisp machines.</p>
+
+<h3>Why I Must Write GNU</h3>
+
+<p>I consider that the golden rule requires that if I like a program I
+must share it with other people who like it. I cannot in good
+conscience sign a nondisclosure agreement or a software license
+agreement.</p>
+
+<p>So that I can continue to use computers without violating my
+principles, I have decided to put together a sufficient body of free
+software so that I will be able to get along without any software that
+is not free.</p>
+
+
+<h3>How You Can Contribute</h3>
+
+<p>I am asking computer manufacturers for donations of machines and
+money. I'm asking individuals for donations of programs and work.</p>
+
+<p>One computer manufacturer has already offered to provide a machine. But
+we could use more. One consequence you can expect if you donate
+machines is that GNU will run on them at an early date. The machine had
+better be able to operate in a residential area, and not require
+sophisticated cooling or power.</p>
+
+<p>Individual programmers can contribute by writing a compatible duplicate
+of some Unix utility and giving it to me. For most projects, such
+part-time distributed work would be very hard to coordinate; the
+independently-written parts would not work together. But for the
+particular task of replacing Unix, this problem is absent. Most
+interface specifications are fixed by Unix compatibility. If each
+contribution works with the rest of Unix, it will probably work
+with the rest of GNU.</p>
+
+<p>If I get donations of money, I may be able to hire a few people full or
+part time. The salary won't be high, but I'm looking for people for
+whom knowing they are helping humanity is as important as money. I view
+this as a way of enabling dedicated people to devote their full energies to
+working on GNU by sparing them the need to make a living in another way.</p>

+<h4 id="f1">Poor choice of wording around “free”</h4>
+
+<p>The wording here was careless. The intention was that nobody would
+have to pay for <b>permission</b> to use the GNU system. But the
+words don't make this clear, and people often interpret them as saying
+that copies of GNU should always be distributed at little or no
+charge. That was never the intent.</p>

+<cite>"When it comes to defending the freedom of others, to lie
+ down and do nothing is an act of weakness, not humility."</cite>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+ In the GNU Project we usually recommend people use <a
+ href="/copyleft/copyleft.html">copyleft</a> licenses like GNU
+ GPL, rather than permissive non-copyleft free software licenses. We
+ don't argue harshly against the non-copyleft licenses—in fact, we
+ occasionally recommend them in special circumstances—but the
+ advocates of those licenses show a pattern of arguing harshly against
+ the <acronym title="General Public License">GPL</acronym>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+ In one such argument, a person stated that his use of one of the
+ BSD licenses was an "act of humility": "I ask nothing of those who
+ use my code, except to credit me." It is rather a stretch to
+ describe a legal demand for credit as "humility", but there is a
+ deeper point to be considered here.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+ Humility is abnegating your own self interest, but you and the one
+ who uses your code are not the only ones affected by your choice of
+ which free software license to use for your code. Someone who uses
+ your code in a non-free program is trying to deny freedom to
+ others, and if you let him do it, you're failing to defend their
+ freedom. When it comes to defending the freedom of others, to lie
+ down and do nothing is an act of weakness, not humility.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+ Releasing your code under one of the BSD licenses, or some other
+ permissive non-copyleft license, is not doing wrong; the program is
+ still free software, and still a contribution to our community.
+ But it is weak, and in most cases it is not the best way to
+ promote users' freedom to share and change software.
