GNU is Turning 15,000 (Days) This Year
Savannah aging well.
Out of sheer curiosity, and perhaps making the point that GNU is over 40 (a lot older than Linux, whose licence, the GPL, is also much older and the reason for the success/popularity of Linux, according to Linus Torvalds, who explained it on prime time TV), I checked how many days passed since Richard M. Stallman (RMS) first announced GNU (not yet the code, licence, or the manifesto). The age of GNU, based on the date celebrated by the FSF this past September, is 14,720 days. So this year it'll turn 15,000 days old. It'll happen about 2 months before the end of the year:
Yo dawg, I heard you like UNIX, but GNU is not UNIX. █
