It is difficult to associate open source programmers and companies with what some writers have called "hacker culture" or "the hacker ethic." Instead, open source values, and projects such as Linux, can be traced to academia.
What inspires open source programmers, defines their culture and sets the open source world apart from that of proprietary software development? That's an important question for understanding what drives the creation of monumental platforms such as Linux, OpenStack and Hadoop. It's also one that can only be answered through a careful look at the history of what open source leaders have called "hacker culture" and the "hacker ethic."

Of course the website doesn't conform to whatever passes for the current conformist's idea of what conformity should look like on the Internet... but words still mean something, and I - for one - like to read them.
Sorry for snark -- I've had a bad day.

Just ask RMS himself.
He's not dead you know.
I'm sure he'd sit down for a chat if you don't condescend to him, or suggest that he created the GPL so that he could save some greenbacks.
Of course, that might mean that you can't record audio or video of him - as those things require 'non-free' software or computing resources.
RMS is correct ---- you know that, right?
And look! Hark!
He's even got his own website!
