7:30pm Copyright vs Community in the Age of Computer Networks Richard Stallman graduated from Harvard in 1974 with a BA in physics. During his college years, he also worked as a staff hacker at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Lab, learning operating system development by doing it. He wrote the first extensible Emacs text editor there in 1975. In January 1984 he resigned from MIT to start the GNU project (a free operating system that gives computer users the freedom that most of them have lost; everyone is free to copy GNU and redistribute this free software, as well as to make changes either large or small). Stallman was awarded a Macarthur foundation fellowship in 1990, and in 1996 an honorary doctorate from the royal institute of Technology in Sweden. In 1998, he received the Electronic Frontier Foundation’s pioneer award along with Linus Torvalds. In 1999 Stallman was given the Yuri Rubinski award and in 2001 he received a second honorary doctorate, from the University of Glasgow. Also in 2001, he shared the Takeda Award for social/economic betterment with Torvalds and Ken Sakamura. In 2002, Stallman was elected to the National Academy of Engineering. His new book "Free Software, Free Society: Selected Essays of Richard M. Stallman" was published by the Free Software Foundation in October 2002.
