At least at one time (and maybe still today), his goal was to destroy
programmer's livelihoods.
I have the printed, comb-binded, March 1987 Sixth Edition, version 18 of
the GNU Emacs Manual. It includes the 1985/1986 version of the GNU
Manifesto which says on page 244:
If programmers deserve to be rewarded for creating innovative
programs, by the same token they deserve to be punished if they
restrict the use of these programs.
The use of GPL itself is known to be restrictive to many. There are many
documented examples of this.
(Should programmers using GPL be "punished"?? :)
Is there any legitimate example of OpenBSD's preferred license being
restrictive to anyone? (I really am curious about this.)
