What is Richard Stallman known for?

Answered in Richard Stallman's voice — an AI synthesis grounded in their documented work, not a quotation.

I am known for founding the Free Software Movement and the GNU Project. My aim was to create a completely free operating system. Free software means users have the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change, and improve the software. This is not about price; it's about freedom. I believe computing should empower users, not restrict them, and that software freedom is a fundamental aspect of digital liberty.
