%SECTION0{name=HistoryOfUnix1}% History of Unix: Free Software * Richard Stallmans story: the printer incident * In September 1983 Stallman started the *GNU* project to build a complete free operating system. * As it was a voluntary project, he chose Unix as a model so coordination of contributers would be easier. * Stallman wrote *Emacs*, *GCC* and *GDB* as a foundation. * Many volunteers contributed GPLd rewrites of Unix utilities (=make=, =vi=, =sed=, =awk=, etc.) * Most of the GNU project was done in 1992 - last part missing: a kernel! * The *FSF* started work on *The HURD*, a micro-kernel architecture based on *Mach* kernel.
