  90 <h2>Richard Stallman</h2>
  91 </hgroup>
  92 </header>
  93 <p>Richard Stallman founded the free software movement in 1983 when he <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180310155825/http://www.gnu.org/gnu/initial-announcement.html">announced he would develop the GNU operating system</a>, a Unix-like operating
  94 system meant to consist entirely of <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180310155825/http://gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html">free software</a>. He has been the GNU project's leader ever since. In October 1985 he started the Free Software Foundation.</p>
  95 <p>Since the mid-1990s, Stallman has spent most of his time in
  96 political advocacy for free software, and spreading the ethical ideas
  97 of the movement, as well as campaigning against both software patents
  98 and dangerous extension of copyright laws. Before that, Richard
  99 developed a number of widely used programs that are components of GNU,
 100 including the original Emacs, the GNU Compiler Collection, the GNU
 101 symbolic debugger (gdb), GNU Emacs, and various others.</p>
