Well, you can give up if you like but it won't stop just because you do. They want it all, not because they have anything against you, but because they want everything for themselves. Your loss is just an unfortunate side effect.

That is why the GNU in GNU/Linux is important. Because freedom is important and we apparently need to be reminded of that every day, all day long. People think RMS wants credit, I think what he wants is freedom for everyone. If we forget about freedom we will lose it because someone else will not be forgetting that they want it all for themselves.

I believe "they" will get what they want if "we" don't remember. We need to educate the general population and get them to remember too.

You can write Linux all you want, I will write GNU/Linux because I want freedom.
