About the Author

About the Author Richard M. Stallman is the original author of GNU Emacs and is still its maintainer. He was recently awarded the 2001 Takeda Award for Techno-Entrepreneurial Achievements in Social/Economic Well-Being. Stallman is internationally recognized as the creator of the Free Software movement - a progressive worldwide movement to make software code freely available to improve its development and accessibility. Richard has also received numerous computer science academic honors including a 1990 MacArthur "Genius Grant" leading to his election into the American National Academy of Engineering in 2002. In 1984 Stallman resigned from his job as a researcher at MIT's AI Lab in protest of its increasingly restrictive copyright policy. Upon resigning he started the GNU Project, a revolutionary concept at the time, by creating and writing the General Public License. GNU with the LINUX kernel was the first freely distributable operating system available with source code and protected by the GPL.
