14 The Brain Makers by H. P. Newquist says inaccurately that the AI Lab told<br />

Stallman to stay away from the Lisp Machine project.<br />

15 Steven Levy in Hackers had this period in mind when he described Stallman<br />

as the “last of the true hackers,” but his intended meaning was not what you<br />

might think. Levy used the term “true hackers” to distinguish the MIT hacker<br />

community from two other hacker communities described later in the book, to<br />

which he gave other names. When this community had dissolved, leaving only<br />

Stallman, he therefore became the last of the “true hackers.” Levy did not mean<br />

that nobody else was truly a hacker, but people tend to interpret his words that<br />

way, especially those who see them without reading the explanations in Levy’s<br />

book. Stallman has never described himself using those words of Levy’s.<br />

16 See Steven Levy, Hackers (Penguin USA [paperback], 1984): 426<br />

18 See http://www.gnu.org/gnu/the-gnu-project.html. Stallman adds his own<br />

footnote to this statement, writing, “As an Atheist, I don’t follow any religious<br />

leaders, but I sometimes find I admire something one of them has said.”<br />

Movement,” Open Sources (O’Reilly & Associates, Inc., 1999): 65.<br />
