Free as in Freedom interweaves biographical snapshots of GNU project founder Richard Stallman with the political, social and economic history of the free software movement. It examines Stallman's unique personality and how that personality has been at turns a driving force and a drawback in terms of the movement's overall success.Free as in Freedom examines one man's 20-year attempt to codify and communicate the ethics of 1970s era "hacking" culture in such a way that later generations might easily share and build upon the knowledge of their computing forebears. The book documents Stallman's personal evolution from teenage misfit to prescient adult hacker to political leader and examines how that evolution has shaped the free software movement. Like Alan Greenspan in the financial sector, Richard Stallman has assumed the role of tribal elder within the hacking community, a community that bills itself as anarchic and averse to central leadership or authority. How did this paradox come about? Free as in Freedom provides an answer. It also looks at how the latest twists and turns in the software marketplace have diminished Stallman's leadership role in some areas while augmenting it in others.Finally, Free as in Freedom examines both Stallman and the free software movement from historical viewpoint. Will future generations see Stallman as a genius or crackpot? The answer to that question depends partly on which side of the free software debate the reader currently stands and partly upon the reader's own outlook for the future. 100 years from now, when terms such as "computer," "operating system" and perhaps even "software" itself seem hopelessly quaint, will Richard Stallman's particular vision of freedom still resonate, or will it have taken its place alongside other utopian concepts on the 'ash-heap of history?'

1,0 von 5 Sternen Not worth the money
Rezension aus Deutschland vom 21. Dezember 2005
Sorry, Richard Stallman is really an amazing character, but this book, at least in the form published from O'Reilly, is not worth the money. Neither does the author give a detailed description of the free software movement in general nor does he give interesting
personal details about Stallman.
If somebody is interested in a description of his eyes, which have a special glance, as I was told in this book, I can assure him that he will find plenty pages decribing them and his habit in general in a simple minded way. Additionally the author provides senseless information, trying to point out that Stallman is somehow something like an autist (he has to be, because he has done amazing work, isn't it?), and a born politically activist successing his mother, who once stood up against rebuilding their flat.
I was very happy when I received the book, now I'm disappointed. This is the result when journalists try to deal with an issue they don't understand. At least there is a positive message at the end: This book is published under the GFDL, so probably an other author more gifted has rewritten entirely.

5,0 von 5 Sternen Very good portrayal and informative
Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 30. April 2009
Verifizierter Kauf
I am a die hard GNU/Linux user for over 12 years. I have become extremely frustrated in Microsoft products that simply don't work and are a huge pain to maintain, while using Linux and watching it excel over Microsoft products again and again. I wrote my own article comparing Linux to Windows and finally decided it was time to get some more history of GNU/Linux and how it came to be. This book fit the bill. It goes into great detail on Stallman, who created the GNU General Public License and the GNU Operating System which started it all, and why he did so. It does a great job of following Stallman's life and the development of the GPL and other accomplishments of Stallman. It also does a great job of introducing Linus Torvalds and how he contributed the Linux kernel which was the missing piece to the GNU Operating System by Stallman, to form what we use today, GNU/Linux or more commonly called just Linux. A great overall book for learning the history of Linux.

5,0 von 5 Sternen Love him or hate him - it's a good read
Rezension aus dem Vereinigten Königreich vom 9. April 2012
Verifizierter Kauf
I can't imagine this book being of much interest to a non-computing type but as a supporter of free software I enjoyed it from the beginning. I saw RMS speak once and his talk was very inspirational. I could have expected this book to be 'fanboy' patting RMS on the back but it wasn't. The author delved into his life and did not shy from describing the criticisms levelled at RMS. The history of the GNU/GPL subject was great - the author has done the groundwork and obviously knows his stuff.

4,0 von 5 Sternen Richard Matthew Stallmanの理念及び自伝
Rezension aus Japan vom 4. Januar 2011
Verifizierter Kauf
　Free Software, Free Societyはrmsの意見やGNUの理念に関する文章が多く、FreeSoftwareの理念について知りたい人は必読書ですが,
こちらの書籍はどちらかというとrmsの人となりの部分も書かれています。ですから、FreeSoftwareについて知りたい人は前述の書籍ですが、
rmsがいかにしてFreeSoftwareの思想やGNUの理念に至ったかの流れについて知りたい人はこの書籍を読むべきだと思います。
OpenSourceに関する書籍は近年多く出ていますが、FreeSoftwareについての書籍はあまりないのが現状です。そんな現状だからこそ、
はっきりとOpenSourceとFreeSoftwareの違いを把握するために前述の書籍と併せて読んでおきたい書籍だと思います。

4,0 von 5 Sternen Biography of the last true MIT AI hacker.
Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 7. März 2009
Verifizierter Kauf
"Free as in Freedom" is a biography of Richard Hackman, the founder of the GNU project written by a journalist called Sam Williams. It is written under the GNU free documentation license, so can find a free copy on internet at: [...]

The writing is somewhat awkward at times. It starts at the famous story about the Xerox printer which triggered Stallman to start the GNU project years later. But then it actually moves to the biographer talking to Richard in the "now." It then moves back from now to history, to now etc. This is somewhat confusing and also the biographer is perhaps too much there and too much giving his opinions instead of writing the story (especially the last chapter).

The history stories of the book are pretty good though. The classic story about the printer and how emacs was created and the MIT AI Lab culture. From there it moves into the creation on GNU and its initial non-success. Also if briefly covers the conflicts between Stallman and the Open Source community, Stallman and other GNU members and Stallman and the biographer. In other words, it describes pretty well how hard it is to work together with Richard.

I like the book for the stories and its historical perspectives. I like the book for trying to describe how it is to work with a person like Richard Stallman and trying to explain that based in his history. I didn't like the writing style very much and the opinion of the author. If you are interested in Free Software history, then this would probably be a good book for you to read. Otherwise, you'd probably need to leave it where it is or just browse the free (as in freedom) internet version. 4 stars still though.

As a sidenote. It doesn't seem Richard Stallman himself is promoting this book or has made any comments about this book.
