A very short and simple presentation about Richard M. Stallman. Linux, Apache, PHP, Blender, Wikipedia and MySQL simply wouldn’t exist without open and permissive licenses, that was created by Stallman. He received more than 30 Honorable Awards including 14 Doctorate Degrees. The Duration of this Presentation is 5 minutes. I hope you'll enjoy it!
