just discovered a blog written by a old lisper Dan Weinreb, refuting
on a story on Lisp Machine companies as told by Richard Stallman.
“Rebuttal to Stallman’s Story About The Formation of Symbolics and
LMI” (2007-11), by Dan Weinreb. At
http://danweinreb.org/blog/rebuttal-to-stallmans-story-about-the-formation-of-symbolics-and-lmi
>From my experience, and extensive reading about Richard Stallman since
late 1990s, that i would believe Dan Weinreb on this more than Richard
Stallman.
I find Richard Stallman's writings, are often biased, and in many of
his writings and lectures i've seen, he's even intentionally mis-infom
people for his point of view on the philosophy of software licensing.
(see http://xahlee.org/UnixResource_dir/writ2/FSF_philosophy.html )
Dan Weinreb's blog article probably has been mentioned here before,
but i felt it be announced again.
