a program is just an algorithm, (He invented that too?)in other words a mathematical model for solving a problem.
So a program is an idea in the same manner that the fundamental theorem of calculus is an idea.
The structure of Unix and the internet both allow you to place trust the work of others because their work product and ideas are open to inspection.
This is beyond parody, and I won’t belabor it for the regulars. Small examples are that Unix is proprietary and closed source (the only exception is Solaris, and that a very recent and minor exception), computer algorithms are rarely mathematical models, programs are still work products, and Stallman in no way invented algorithms.
I have heard nothing about “ideas want to be free.” Well, I have heard many ideas that are into S&M. Which ones do you believe?
If you don’t have at least bachelor’s degree, talk to me again when you do. If you do, well, ask for a refund for you education.
