What does it mean to be free software?

To describe it as concise as possible, that is, in the original time and space, without it, Google's technology would not have been able to develop; without it, from professional and obscure telephone switches, global satellite positioning receivers, MRI imaging, to well-known smart phones, smart homes, etc. that require embedded systems, it would not have been popularized so quickly.

What is the driving force for software movement?

It’s a bit unbelievable, it’s the ideal and pure hacking culture.

This thing looks "virtual", but it has a close relationship with the rise of personal computers. Because with the development of technology, computers have changed from a symbol of government manipulation of society to one of the tools of counter-culturalism, and have also become the best goal for hackers to challenge technical difficulties and demonstrate superb intelligence.

Of course, not everyone is immersed in the free sharing atmosphere of this hacking culture.

On February 3, 1976, most computer enthusiasts were disappointed to use their software for the world's first commercially successful personal computer, Altair, without paying. Gates published an "an_open_letter_to_hobbyists" - "Open Letter to Hobbies", which said: "Who will do these professional jobs without any compensation? What kind of enthusiasts can invest three years of development for his product, find all the mistakes, write documents, and publish this product for free?"

On April 1 of the same year, Jobs persuaded Woz to create Apple together and turn the personal computer it invented into a product sold to the market - apple_1.

For a moment, commercializing this kind of intelligent achievements in the computer field, protecting them with patents, and obtaining wealth became a trend.

The hacker culture that advocates free sharing collapsed under this strong pressure.

Chad Matthew Storman, who was hired by the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, experienced this change personally. He couldn't stand him, so he stood up and became a saint who advocated the free software movement.

In Chad Matthew Stowman's view, any act of "closing" software is very immoral.

Of course, Chad Matthew Stowman is not the one who fired the fire. He made practical contributions and wrote three very important free softwares himself - text editor emacs, compiler gcc, and debugger gdb.

It can be said that only one operating system is missing, Chad Matthew Stowman's free software has a complete platform; but unfortunately, he got stuck at this threshold and realized that it could not be completed by his own efforts.

At this stage, Chad Matthew Stowman is speaking everywhere, defending the liberation software and fighting the expansion of software patents and copyright laws. His identity is not just a hacker, but more like a political activist.

The powerful Tang richest man is cautious about Chad Matthew Storman and his free software movement, and the reasons are very complicated.

First of all, the hacking culture behind the Free Software Movement is worthy of awe.

Secondly, Tang Huan's benefits from commercial software are many times more than Gates. Once he is targeted by the free software movement, the subsequent possible consequences are the targets of all kinds of ulterior motives.

In addition, you should always ask yourself - the reason why Tang Yi is so outrageous is precisely because he benefits from the achievements of the original free software movement in time and space.

When drinking water, you need to think about the source of your source!

Therefore, in answering Linus Torvaz's question, in addition to showing caution, Tang Huan is also very sincere.

As a summary, Tang Huan turned around and wrote "open_source_software" on the blackboard, "Open Source Software", and then explained: "The free software movement is to view all commercial software as a tool for exploiting others and earning benefits from the perspective of software quality. I have no intention of debating this point, but rather prefer to express my appreciation for "open source software" from the perspective of software quality, and regard the free software as a more strict special case for the open source software."

Seeing that the richest man answered his question in such a comprehensive and meticulous manner, Linus Torvaz was very excited. After the speech, he held several Tang Huan technical works he bought and asked for his signature.

Tang Huan, who was patiently satisfied with the other party's request, smiled and joked: "The reason you asked me about the free software movement is because I am a typical representative of using commercial software to exploit others?"

Linus Torvaz, who took a look at the email address written by Tang Huan in the book, and while cherishing it, he answered seriously: "Although you have gained huge wealth through commercial software, you have also used this resource to make an unnegligible contribution to the popularization of computer knowledge around the world."

"Many students at the University of Helsinki have signed up for activities organized by philosophical training and certification agencies, and even quickly found their favorite jobs with the qualifications and ability certificates they passed the exam."

"The charity project aimed at eliminating the knowledge gap - a one-child computer program. At the trial site in Finland, our Helsinki Student Union once organized personnel to visit it. It can indeed help children master modern high-tech tools such as computers as soon as possible. I don't know how many times clearer the goals than I had before."

"In addition, your masterpiece of technology has long become a sacred text for those of us who are interested in the field of it."

"Anyway, no matter what the point is, you can withstand the moral torture that is highly praised by the software movement."

Everyone likes both fame and fortune, and the world's richest man is no exception.

He laughed loudly, "I hope you young people can all look at the problem so rationally."

...

Mr. Richest Man has a wide range of travels in Finland, and in addition to business, academic, etc., he even has movies.

The movie "Die Hard Sequel" released last year, which had an ideal box office performance, was directed by Renny Harlem, a Finnish man who only went to Hollywood in the United States in the mid-1980s.

During his stay in Finland, Tang Huan called the man from Los Angeles, USA as a lubricant for communication with Finland.

In fact, Finland is also remarkable in terms of films, with many influential filmmakers internationally. For example, in addition to Rennie Harling, there is also Aki Korismaki. His comedy film "The Legend of the Conqueror of Cowboys" released last year, helped him attract the attention of the whole world.

Not to mention, during this period, a project called "darkness_in_tallinn" - "Dark Tallinn" was delivered to the richest man.

...

The following is the anti-d part, updated tomorrow morning, and ignore it directly.

...

Simo Vorinato said in a trembling voice: "I didn't expect that I would add such an important strategic legacy to my post."

Tang Huan laughed. He did not blindly trust Nokia based on the existing results of time and space.

After all what I saw and heard in Finland during this period, the richest man had some of the most intuitive experiences of the cultural spirit of this nation - "private su".

Because of living in cold areas, Finns have formed a pragmatic work style. For example, in product design, it reflects the emphasis on practicality and durability and does not "design for design". But this does not mean that it sticks to the rules - Tang Huan can appreciate it at his residence, Finnish designers created glass products that are purely for viewing with more complex lines.

Further, the Finns are very practical in doing things and are clear about their position. This can be seen from the fact that the Soviet Union, an important trading partner, suddenly lost its chain, cannot count the reason on it.

At the same time, the Finns also had the qualities of persistence. Such a small country could fight with the Soviet Union and Germany one after another during World War II to maintain its dignity, and ultimately prevent it from suffering from the fate of being annexed by the Soviet Union after the war, like the three small Baltic countries.

Listening to the ears is false, seeing to the eyes is true - Tang Huan feels that Nokia is a "OEM" for himself and is very competent.

In addition, in terms of creating a high-tech industrial environment, Finland, like the British neighbor Ireland, is very outstanding.

Next, Tang Huan went to Finland's largest and oldest highest institution. During his visit to the University of Helsinki, which was founded in 1640, he observed the excellent qualities of local college students close by. For example, almost everyone here knows many foreign languages, and he basically cannot use Finnish and Swedish translations.

The Finnish Prime Minister Esco Aho graduated from the University of Helsinki. The richest man came to this highest institution accompanied by him.

The computer system of the University of Helsinki has relatively old dec minicomputers and the latest square servers, and the facilities are first-class.

After Tang Huan visited, he began his speech.

During the interactive session, he asked a few questions with a smile. For example, who has used Fangyuan computer? Who owns Fangyuan personal computer? What is the user experience?

The answer I got was very satisfied with the richest man - almost all the students on the scene had used Fangyuan computers, and there were also many people who own Fangyuan personal computers.

One of the students described it very specifically - he bought a 32-bit four-generation Fangyuan personal computer compatible computer through installment payment a few years ago, and then increased memory and boards by himself, making the performance of this computer not out of date until now; more importantly, the Fangyuan computer platform has rich and excellent software resources, and his own programming, entertainment and other requirements have been perfectly met.

"You can tell that you are a master in the computer field." Tang Huan waved his hand and asked the student to sit down. Because he saw that the other party looked familiar, he asked his name casually.

The man stood up happily again, "My name is linus_torvalds-Linus Torvaz Don. Can I ask a question that is not related to the topic of the speech?"

After Tang Huan was slightly stunned, he immediately laughed meaningfully - it turned out to be you, and he didn't know if the operating system in the original time and space - linux has emerged now.

Linas Torwaz, born in Helsinki, Finland, is considered a family-leading origin. His father Niels Torwaz is an active radio reporter, his mother Anna Torwaz is also a reporter, and his grandfather Or Torwaz is a poet and journalist. His grandfather was the first Finnish statistics professor, the Finnish Statistics Society established an award under his name to award outstanding master's degree in statistics within two years.

Linus Torvaz, an activist at the University of Helsinki, wrote some statistical mini programs in Ba Private C language at the age of 11.

So, Linus Torvaz, a computer expert, suddenly jumped out, and the richest man was not too surprised. After all, where was the growth environment in which he was.

Tang Huan waved his hand generously, "You ask, I am willing to satisfy your curiosity."

"The famous chard_matthean, the founder of the 19th Liberal Software Movement, is touring around and coming to the University of Helsinki not long ago." Linus Torvaz asked seriously: "Don, you started by compiling the world's first spreadsheet software and founded the world's largest commercial software company. So, what do you think about 19th Liberal Software?"

Linus Torvaz, an activist, really raised a sensitive question. Even though he was already the Taishan Beidou in the IT industry, the richest man had to treat it carefully.

Tang Huan pondered and said, "First of all, I will reveal my view on free software, that is, free software does not equal free software."

"I noticed that in this rising free software trend, the meaning of ‘free_software’ is easy to make people feel that ‘free’ is ‘free’.”

"I think that the free software movement should first distinguish 'libre' - free software and 'gratis' - free software in concept; then discuss how the entire software industry will develop."
