Thread: RMS is mistaken. He did not create emacs, nor did MIT.

an oracle employee did, obviously.

he has built wysiwyg text editor, constraint based drawing editor , text editor called `emacs' unix systems.

a claim find hilarious, given recent blog post company filing law suit against google infringing patented invention.

1972

1981

clearly, invention - did put on unix first, after all.

anyways, think point here:

when google came thoughts on cellphones, 1 of core principles making platform free handset providers. had weak notions of interoperability, which, given our history, objected to. android has pretty played out way feared: there enough fragmentation among android handsets restrict freedom of software developers.

and:

this skirmish isn't patents or principles or programming languages. suit far more ego, money , power.

(at least admits company helps run after...)

i don't see fuss. did create "emacs" text editor ran on unix , had quite advanced features. what's problem?
