RMS certainly did. IIRC his politics formed when companies started
charging for software, when previously it was included free with the
hardware.

1. What historical event are you referring to?

He should be refering to the printer incident where the printer
software (which used to be free) became closed source (un-free) and
this posed problems as they had to wait for a tech.support monkey to
fix any problems they had.

But what he's refering to is probably the fact that LISP companies who
were in competition screwed over the users of their software

Which universe did that happen in?

This one. You seem to be implying it didn't, which is odd considering
the facts are widely available from a number of sources, just a few
keystrokes away from Google. Why the doubt?

Because I was there?
