FSF and Stephen Fry celebrate the GNU Project 25th anniversary
BOSTON, Massachusetts, USA -- Tuesday, September 2, 2008 --
The GNU operating system is turning 25 this year, and the Free
Software Foundation (FSF) has kicked off its month-long celebration
of the anniversary by releasing "Happy Birthday to GNU," a short
film featuring the English humorist, actor, novelist and
filmmaker Stephen Fry.
In the five-minute film, Fry compares the free software operating
system to "good science" and contrasts it with the "kind of tyranny"
imposed by the proprietary software produced by companies like
Microsoft and Apple that it replaces. He encourages people to use
free GNU/Linux distributions like gNewSense (http://gnewsense.org)
and free software generally, for freedom's sake.
"Stephen has generously donated his time to the cause of free software.
His ability to communicate a technological and philosophical movement
in terms of the basic principles of sharing and user freedom -- ideas
that everyone can understand -- will introduce a new and broader
audience to the benefits of free software," said Matt Lee, an FSF
campaigns manager and writer/producer of the film.
