●● False quote (but widely spread and misattributed): “I freed a thousand slaves; I could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves”

Posted in Deception, Free/Libre Software, FSF, GNU/Linux at 1:41 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

A common false dichotomy (a salary does not emancipate people and financial rewards are disproportionate for actual effort, very lopsided in the Linux Foundation):

Summary: Madame Ladson (Ursula von der Leyen) adopted the name that stands for slavery; she now runs a leading facilitator of EPO crimes. Richard Stallman keeps a low profile (nowadays his public talks are barely advertised) and the FSF won't comment on IBM and the GPL; likewise, Linus Torvalds was compelled to make a public apology and go see therapists (for insisting on good-quality code), so it doesn’t seem like they enjoy the same freedom they had back in the 1990s.
