What Revolution OS Is About
The documentary tells the story of people who objected to software being a closed box: the free software movement Richard Stallman began with the GNU project, Linus Torvalds's kernel, and the system that emerged when the two came together. What is most interesting is the split inside the movement, the tension between those who treat freedom as a moral question and those who chose to sell it as a better engineering method, which is still with us. Everyone speaking was there. Remember it is from 2001; open source became the industry default after this film.
