While Richard Stallman, the founder of the GNU project and the president of the FSF (Free Software Foundation), does believe that software should not have owners, the free software definition clearly states: "Free software is a matter of liberty, not price.
This condition, which ironically draws on copyright legislation to enforce, was first devised by the free-software pioneer Richard Stallman.
It also came under assault by the movement for free software, a crusade launched against the computer industry bureaucracy in 1984 by programmer Richard Stallman.
