A May 26, 2000 Salon.com article, meanwhile, portrays
Stallman as a bit of a hacker lothario. Documenting the
free software-free love connection, reporter Annalee
Newitz presents Stallman as rejecting traditional
family values, telling her, "I believe in love, but not
monogamy."See Annalee Newitz, "If Code is Free Why Not Me?"
Salon.com (May 26, 2000).
Stallman lets his menu drop a little when I bring this
up. "Well, most men seem to want sex and seem to have a
rather contemptuous attitude towards women," he says.
"Even women they're involved with. I can't understand
it at all."
I mention a passage from the 1999 book Open Sources in
which Stallman confesses to wanting to name the
ill-fated GNU kernel after a girlfriend at the time.
The girlfriend's name was Alix, a name that fit
perfectly with the Unix developer convention of putting
an "x" at the end of any new kernel name-e.g., "Linux."
Because the woman was a Unix system administrator,
Stallman says it would have been an even more touching
tribute.
