Extrait de ce discours : "And, if you use recipes, you've probably had the experience of
getting a copy of a recipe from a friend who's sharing it. And you've
probably also had the experience -- unless you're a total neophyte -- of
changing a recipe. You know, it says certain things, but you don't have
to do exactly that. You can leave out some ingredients. Add some
mushrooms, 'cause you like mushrooms. Put in less salt because your
doctor said you should cut down on salt -- whatever. You can even make
bigger changes according to your skill. And if you've made changes in a
recipe, and you cook it for your friends, and they like it, one of your
friends might say, "Hey, could I have the recipe?" And then, what do you
do? You could write down your modified version of the recipe and make a
copy for your friend. These are the natural things to do with
functionally useful recipes of any kind.
Now a recipe is a lot like a computer program. A computer program's a lot
like a recipe: a series of steps to be carried out to get some result
that you want. So it's just as natural to do those same things with
computer programs -- hand a copy to your friend. Make changes in it
because the job it was written to do isn't exactly what you want. "

PROLONGER LA RENCONTRE
D’autres mots de Richard Stallman
Pour être un saint dans l'Église de l'Emacs, il faut vivre une vie pure. Il faut se passer de tout logiciel propriétaire. Heureusement, être célibataire n'est pas obligé. C'est donc bien mieux que les autres églises.
