1) SELECT * FROM gnu WHERE gnu NOT IN ('Unix', 'Linux', 'Windows', 'Mac OS'....);
2) Stallman makes some good points, sometimes. But I believe that he and Linus differ in their mindsets. Linus is a coder and is primarily concerned with that. Stallman is definitely more politically minded. He assumes that everyone is concerned with the ethics of software and what it means for software to be free. While I dont disagree with freely available software (and by freely available I mean free to use, change, and distribute said changes), I disagree with anyone with the approach that "My approach is the most correct." Im not suggesting that RMS is correct or not in what he preaches. He's obviously free to have his own opinion. However, I believe that his goal is virtually unattainable as the masses are going to do whatever they want, regardless of someone saying otherwise. But I am ultimately of the opinion that the best tool for the job is the right choice, regardless of what it costs. If you're not happy with something, you certainly have the option of writing something yourself. The choice should definitely be up to YOU.
